this is going to be interesting to see how it plays out.
Yes, it will be interesting to watch. Even with a boost of street hires with some pipeline pilots likely due out soon, not sure how they'll fill all E-175 F/O slots with streeties by the closing of the bid. I'd expect a few DFW guys to maybe jump at it, leaving some DFW slots to fill. If they allow present pilots from other fleets to bid it, they'll have to start parking little Embraers or bending over those remaining pilots beyond 90 degrees and really stuffing their faces in the carpet.
