SkyWest is already staffed through next spring.. And the CRJ feelt is staying flat.. Plus Delta/UA draw down over the next 3-4 years will easy the CRJ staffing.. I think the ERJ extension was just a function of UA unable to cover that many coming off line at once. The 737/A320's need some spool up time.. The bigger tell tell sign is that ASA is avoiding a list merger with XJT. The MEC must be privy to realy what happens in 2018... Thats the main reason to stay away..
