We at ExpressJet expect more news to follow by this summer on what's going to happen with either an improved CPP or a flow. Right now we have a pool of guys that are in the CPP program waiting on a class date. That pool has been shrinking, and there hasn't been any new people introduced into the CPP program by taking the Hogan test yet. This is what's fueling that something better may be coming - drain the existing pool before starting something new.
As far as growth goes, we operate like 80 E145's right now, but we can operate up to 126 if we can staff it. We have the 20 CRJ-200's, and 25 E175SC's coming. We're going from 100 to 125 and up to 171 airplanes, or a 70% increase. We also reserved a large block of tail numbers that end in UX, and the rumor is we're going to have up to 60 E175's by the beginning of 2020.
