Doubt it.
We are confirmed to be taking 8 900's from Freedom (which Pinnacle is currently running until January). Those revenue flights begin February 18th. An additional 7 900's are coming for a total of 15.
SAABs start flying into ATL in February 09 and the CRJs start flying into ATL in March. From the sounds of things, the 900's will all be based in DTW, but they haven't made that official yet.
ATL may be converted into a pilot/MX base sometime in the spring, but that isn't for sure yet.
There is a lot of excitement about our growth and there is bound to be a lot of movement with the 900's coming. One always wonders how long it will last, but I've heard nothing that would indicate that a hiring slowdown is coming.
