As soon as you can, you can put in a standing bid for 70/90 FO CVG 100%. They just had a vacancy bid for more 70/90 FOs, so I'm not sure when the next one will come out, but the last two bid's went fairly junior.

I understand that it could be 6 months down the line till CR7 was even an option for but wanted to know where you see the growth that we expect going to. -Thanks
Since you'll be CVG based, you'll probably bee on reserve for while anyway on the CRJ200, you can always come over to the 70/90 when the next vacancy bid comes out, or you can come over when you are sure you can hold a line on the 70/90. Either way, reserve seems a little easier on the 70/90.
