In the earnings call they announced a new contract for 11* more AA CRJ700’s, added to the 20 or 25 CRJ AA crj7’s and 20 AA E175’s. We also added another 175 (9 total now) for Alaska, and extended some contracts. Chip was asked about attrition, and confirmed ground school classes are now full until March.

Now for my own questions. It was my understanding we were planning for 40-45 ERJ175’s for AA, but they were switched to 20 700’s “temporarily”. After the earnings call it doesn’t sound temporary, it sounds like we are sticking with a those 20-25 700’s, and 20 175’s, can anyone confirm that.

Also I’ve heard 200-280 new hires a month. Anyone have a more accurate number?

Also happy to hear them discuss some potential opportunities they’re looking over for future orders and growth. Which would explain the massive hiring they’ve been on recently.
