Doesn't the DALPA contract require a max cap of 125 for 50 seat RJs? If so then that pretty much spells it out. I thought SkyWest got to keep a bunch of them. The remainder has to come from somewhere. Then how is it management and ALPA convinced you the RJ2s were gone when they are now saying nah they are staying. As usual fear tactics. Comair took years to dismantle and I maintained that you could not wind down 180 airplanes in one year or less as they claimed. All those comments about already having RFPs at GoJets, SkyWest, etc to fly 9E planes were just tough talk. No way could those regionals find the pilots to fly 180 airplanes in one year or less. It wasn't feasible to remove 140 in one year to other airlines or Kingman. As for been there have the tshirt, I still have my Feb 2010 Paid in Full t-shirt. Pay to the order of Wall Street. What a joke.

None of that matters and it doesn't mean much if they want 400 newhires in 2014. With an ATP and 1500 hrs pilots would be much better off at Compass. Or 2500 hrs they can go to Virgin. Why come to a deadend regional? FOs are already leaving in massive numbers because they have no future.
