No one has been sent to the ERJ recently and I don't expect that to change. The number of ERJ's we are flying now is significantly less than the 36 planes we were flying, so we are overstaffed on the airplane. By my count about 300 pilots, for less than 20 airplanes.

If we were to lose the flying all together, I think we could absorb the Freedom guys in with no problem. I'd guess were about 200-250 short on the CRJ and Dash (more the CRJ than the Dash) combined.

If we ever get a contract that has a higher number of days off, we will need the man power to cover more pilot lines in each domecile.

Note: I am not advocating coming to work here, or saying that the bottom 300 guys here are safe. Just giving my opinion on what could happen.
