In the end it won't be much different. However, as long as they have a good supply of resumes I would guess they are going to continue to choose the more qualified. I would guess it will change in several months when we get closer to the end of the seniority list. I would guess with some other regionals stopping future classes and asking for some to take LOA's the thought of having half the seniority list behind you in about 14 months is tempting. Outside of that, not much difference.
We just happen to still have half of our fleet coming on property by the end of the year.......This would be like some of the large regionals taking on another 100 jets by the end of the year. Realize I am talking about Relative movement in seniority. Don't want to argue about it, just taking a guess as to why we still have higher time guys applying.

If I had to make the choice to jump ship to CMP from another regional that had equal quality of life and not commuting if I had a significant # of people below me......Well, I would lose a lot of sleep over it but I just don't know if I could start over just because I thought movement at CMP was faster....Things could change for us just as fast with a furlough. Just some thoughts.
