The CRJ ops certification took a little longer than planned but it's still a green light. First class(es) of check airmen, instructors, etc are going thru the process and the first class of regular line pilots starts August 29th.
The first CRJ arrives on property in a few weeks and revenue flights begin mid to late October.
We're still hiring plenty but as for who gets called it's anybody's guess. I've walked in resumes of people who have prior 121 experience and it took FOREVER to get called back. Then I hear about how people with barely the minimums get a call back in 2 days after faxing it in with no recommendations.

good luck all!
