20 E-175's only generates 100 F/O positions. If only new-hires get them like the present scheme, that doesn't do much for more senior locals, let alone those who aren't local and would like to bid it. If Envoy will allow present non E-175 pilots to bid them, then it doesn't do any good for new-hires. If some present new-hire DFW E-175 pilots can transition then more spots open up in DFW, but all in all once 100 slots are filled, the same old staffing attraction problem returns. At any rate, it won't solve attrition as I don't see anyone turning down a legacy or LCC just because they got the E-175.

If true, it will be interesting to see how this plays out.
