we parked all the saabs and a bunch of 135s. the 22 new crjs are neutral growth compared with 18 months ago.
"Taking over mainline jobs" - HA! APA has a strict scope clause that regulates how big we can grow. We are simply growing to the size that "mainline" has permitted us to grow. No other way to look at it homie.

maybe its just me, sounds like someone is in denial. i dont understand 2 things...
what do you have against chq PILOTS? did they personally go to management and say "get that AE flying!!!"...haha...NO!! whats the matter with you man? so bitter...
the other thing, how is it that people dont think this reduces mainline jobs. personally, i think everything 50 seats and up should be mainline. or better yet, if its got the name on the side, it should be flown by their pilots. i know it wont happen. and i know you (or myself) didnt ask for it to be that way, just like you didnt ask for more planes and more routes. you have as much control over that as the chq guys or the rest of us, so maybe you should just get over it.
the fact is, as each year passes, there is more regional flying and less mainline flying, and less quality jobs for us to move on to. if you see it any other way you are in denial. i hope everyone likes their regional, cuz your going to be there a long time with this trend.
