The fleet plan for Eagle that we are hearing about calls for you guys getting around 180 EJets to replace EMBs.

With 47 CRJs already on your property that puts you guys at 227... Which is pretty much where you're at now.

Now, the crunch is this. While there are 180 or so more planes in play, nothing says they HAVE to give them to a wholly owned. They will threaten you guys in some way soon.
The key to remember is nobody else has the pilots to fly them.
Hopefully what you guys are hearing is wrong. That many Ejets at the regional level is not good for pilots anywhere. Better that flying goes to 319s.
