Jack the prevailing thought among many people on-line is that "Why aren't we hiring!". The company just released a memo saying they will pay 150% pay for open time on the ATR and CR7. From what I hear from people its pretty bad on crj in SLC with the open time. I've heard something like 1/3 of the f/os have left and ect. Those cr7 are coming back to ATL. Delta needs them for the etops stuff to the Caribbean.

We are all just line pilots so we don't really know 100% on what’s going on in the company but from what we see online they really need to run a class or 2. With the continued exodus of pilots to Skywest and other Majors/Regionals I think it will happen sooner rather than later.

Stickwiggler, are you SLC or ATL? Maybe you can shed some light on the situation in SLC. I'm ATL myself so its all hearsay but that 1/3 number was from a CRJ IP.
