I would think your best bet to get off reserve quickly on the 900 would be to place ATL high on your pref bid when it appears.
It's atleast going to be 6 months after we pick up the flying. From the mouth of Steve LaVick, they're going to evaluate and just have overnight's initially because the costs and logistics of opening a new base that quickly are substantial. He did add that he couldn't say "no" when asked if we're getting any additional CR9s...and said his only response was "no comment" with a HUGE smile on his face. Just some more fuel for the fire
