And there's end in sight for anyone on reserve right now.

I found a gig that will have me home with my family everyday and upgrade within a year. To my fellow co-works (CRJ Atlanta) its been a fun ride, and I've made some good friends and enjoyed the folks I've worked with, but the future of Express does not inspire confidence right now, as most folks I talk to are actively searching and have already got class dates else where. And now I see management has requested another meeting to discuss the MOU over the agreed upon upgrade quota and other man power issues.

I would recommend keeping your options open and have a solid plan-B just in case things go south here, as some would say that Express has already entered into a death spiral.
