There's enough movement that no one will be on rsv long (except CRJ captains).
Long story short, the more growth that occurs the more excuse the company will have to meter, the more extensions, jr mans, the more crap the company will bend in the contract to fix its self-induced staffing problems.
And look - all fleets have staffing problems. The last bid had 50+ displaced immediately to captain because we aren't staffed correctly. Do you really want to grow more and exacerbate those issues? A few months of fleet stagnation or temporary reduction (til the next round of 175s arrive) would at least provide a reprieve.
