We've added (unofficially) more CRJ every flying the last 4 months in ORD. We'd have more if we could staff it, but we already have 166 projected lines with only 165 to fly them in March. All if this additional flying is from some other contract carrier(s) who isn't bringing in 100 new hires a month.
