Not to be a Negative Nancy...but I'm mentally preparing myself to be out of a job by October. So...I'd tend to disagree with you on your above statement.
First off I’d like to apologize if my speculation upset you. Remember it’s only my personal opinion and believe it or not I thought my speculation would possible “calm some nerves” for those Citrus’ites who’re at the bottom of the list. Obviously I failed miserably here… 
I have absolutely no insight nor do I have any special training to “look into the future.” It seems to me though that most airline management teams have even less insight so I figured I’d give it a shot.
As far as me, I’m a Big Brown ‘fastfeed driver’. Of course, most other airlines prefer the term pilot... 
Not too long ago I was flying the 717 for the same company you now work for and had a blast doing it. Still have many friends over there and only wish the very best to all my former colleagues…
Naw...you didn't upset me at all. I haven't been here long at all but I'm really enjoying the people I'm working with and the plane...which makes the situation suck so much more. But...it is what it is and there isn't anything I can do about it.
And yes...you failed terribly at calming nerves...hahaha. Just messing with ya. My comments weren't mean to be hostile or anything like that...its just that all of us internally are hearing things that range from crappy to $h!tty.
