The 145 is now a completely different story. It is very understaffed with 30 airplanes parked in need of crews. The company has stated the priority for 2020 will be to get those 30 airframes in the air. That is growth, even if it’s not from new planes. So I would say expect movement on the 145 to be rapid. Reserve time 2 months or so depending on base. Plenty of flying. I’m pretty sure Spin Two is expressing frustrations of the 175 group. If you come into training today on the 145 expect short reserve, lots of flying and upgrade to captain at 1000 hrs. If you come into training today on the 175 good luck to you. It’s going to be painful for the next year.
