You can grandfather in 150 new E175s at RAH/OO under the old emission standards, while you dissolve Endeavor, and avoid the shutdown costs, or the program costs of a new fleet type to keep Endeavor going. The CRJs would only operate at mainline for a year or two while they are being permanently parked, and replaced by new E175s at RAH/OO.
I think they will push more OTS hires. Assuming this flow thing goes thru and is not shot down by the arbitrator.

Many of those 500 failed the interview, twice. They'll let a few slip thru, but mother D wants control of their accessions. 2x failures are not part of their program.
