We've recently gotten more CRJ 200 flying for Delta out of ORD so the CRJ side is growing. ORD has 150 CRJ FO line holders out of 156 FOs. People just off of IOE are getting lines on the CRJ in ORD.
The E175 has 90 targeted line holders and 154 E175 FOs in ORD. Someone hired onto the E175 right now would be on reserve for a very long time unless we get some new flying. There just hasn't been a lot of growth on that plane after the initial 40 came online for United.
