Nothing new that you haven't read already on this thread. Company and ALPA will resume negotiations later this month (May meeting postponed due to scheduling conflict on the part of the Company's attorneys). June is supposedly the last month of testing of the EFB...that in itself is an entirely different discussion and topic. iPad or Surface...looking like Surface, but who knows...
Attrition on the CRJ side has averaged about 10 per month since January 2014, I expect that number to rise. ERJ attrition has been approximately 32 per month according to the Company's data.
As highlighted in another thread, CRJ hiring has stopped for the moment, the last class was 5/19/14, I am not sure about ERJ hiring. ERJ fleet will see aircraft get parked as the year moves on as will some CRJ's (4 in Oct). That should complete the CRJ fleet reduction for some time, unfortunately the ERJ will be losing more aircraft as the year progresses unless their contracts are extended. Rumor is that the CRJ IAD base could be closed, but that is just a rumor, we should have an answer on that by late Fall as I believe our CRJ contract with United expires in early 2015.
