It will take all of 2016 and probably into the beginning of 2017 to staff and take on all of the 24 new 900s. Some people claim management told them 200s leases don't expire tell 2019 or later. I've read AAG SEC reports which indicate leases on the 200s starting to expire in 2017. This is during the same projected time frame when the remaining Envoy 700s are supposed to arrive.
The only net growth will probably come from the remaining few Envoy 700s (about 4-5) and the 24 new 900s.
^^^^This sounds much more factual and realistic. Guess that means only a new growth of 300 more pilots. In that case you guys just went from hiring the bottom third of your list to the bottom fifth. I am sure there will be lots of new hires who want in on this deal. "Hey come to PSA and help us finish out the bottom of our seniority list. We have no current bonus, no flow, low pay, SAP is broken, BUT, the CRJ 900's sure are new!"
Maybe that can be your next new recruiting poster PSAJOBS.
"PSA.........Our Airplanes Smell Nice!"*
*DISCLAIMER, Smell only applies to new CRJ 900's and in no way PSA guarantees a pleasant smell on the CRJ 200, and CRJ 700 used aircraft.
