Do they have a long-term plan? But I sure hope they're being realistic about the fact that major hiring is just starting to warm up (and the military is going to have to stop their own bleeding soon...)

If they think their current MO is sustainable with additional big airplane orders and additional big major hiring, they're in for a big surprise.

With all due respect, Rick, it depends on which fleet/base you are on right now. I would love a 100-hr line. In fact, I had never seen a MAX LINE VALUE: 7X.XX in my PBS reason report until I came to the 175. The highest credit I have ever been awarded is 78 hours, I believe...and I want more.

Shoot, I was finally getting used to the 100 hour lines in the CRJ!

The 175 is overstaffed, the CRJ is understaffed...don't be surprised if the CRJ folks get "Brasilia'd." Might already be happening in SEA.
