Future growth will definitely continue to go towards the 70/90 aircraft. Like, I said, they just filled a vacancy bid for 20 more FOs. My guess is the next one will probably come out around Fall, depending on growth, aircraft deliveries and attrition. Seems like they have been building around 20 reserve lines each month. Reserve is a little easier on the 70/90, just cause scheduling has less aircraft/crews to keep track of compared to the CRJ200. Either way, you'll be on reserve for a while, so might as well do it on the 70/90, 'cause that's where the growth will be, as they continue to get rid of more 50 seater's. Just put in a standing bid for the 70/90, you can always withdraw.
