More planes have been announced, an additional 20 CRJ2 for 2017... who they come from (they say it won't be mothballed ones, so either ExpressJet(ASA) or SkyWest) and where they will be based out of, NYC? ATL? RDU? Other.... who knows at this point, all I'm willing to bet is it will be a place in the Eastern time zone, and not DTW.
Upgrades will continue for some time, though I suspect most will only be to 200 captain now, and not quite at the same pace, though still plenty between SSP reserve captains and the additional planes next year... As for the 900, at best a few never ending reserve spots may open up, otherwise it's lifer heaven short of somebody else going out of business creating growth in that size plane.
