The press release for the earnings report has a delivery schedule. 7 in the first quarter and 10 in the second. Second quarter deliveries are 5 each for UA and Delta. I'd think though that the company has already trained most of the pilots for these deliveries. They'd certainly have them done by early second quarter.
Additionally, I think they've always had plenty of staffing on the 175 in anticipation of future aircraft. Once they're all here I'd bet it will run the more traditional 5-6 crews per aircraft.
I might be up for a BOI domicile though. The wife wants out of Utah as we're not LDS, and after 17 years we still don't really fit in.
