Probably 60 a month total.
While I see a good amount of newhire's getting the 756, there is no way that they are going to put 40 a month on the thing.. at least not in EWR.
BUT-
If they do decided to do 40 a month for a few months.. that would be a huge amount of IOE flying for Spring and Summer. That would really hit the EWR 756 flying hard.
Figuring that each NH IOE pilot needs 2 trips, that's 80 trips...
LCA do either 4 or 5 trips a month. So now you need around 20 LCA's to keep up with IOE. Do we have that many LCA's in EWR?!
Of course.. they could send some IOE to IAH and IAD, but still..
Gonna be a good time to be a NH on the 756. Could be a lot of free time!

PS> They REALLY need to get the 756 and 76T combined.. sooner than later~
