I can't recall what scope limits are for 50 seat flying, but it's apparent Skywest/ASA are parking some 200s as they transition to bigger jets.
I can say a good portion of D2C guys are sitting on CJOs, and plenty more are looking at their next move.
Outlook on hiring still looks good, still getting the numbers they've aimed for. Nice to see my name move up the list every month, and find a stack more below it as well.
I can't see them going away any time soon. Paint, econ comfort coming, new interior,etc.. think that they are going to hang around.
Think we have 60 in class this month and more than that for august. Keep them coming
