It’s obvious he’s never lost his job to RJs. Ask the Midwest guys about seeing their planes parked and E170s takeover the entire airline. Or all the furloughed pilots after 9/11 when the RJ started to boom in the industry. Nothing like being furloughed off a DC9/MD737 and starting over as a RJ FO at a growing regional for 1/4 of the wage.

I don’t know if OTZEagle is noticing sitting on his boat in San Juan island, nearly ALL the west coast up/down growth and movement is going to E175s. What do you think is going to happen to the mainline fleet and pilot numbers when the Airbuses are parked and E175s grow in more numbers. And before you turn this into a Boeing vs Airbus b***fest, keep in mind after September we are one pilot group list. Any parking/returning of fleets will affect everyone at mainline Alaska.
