If so anyone know how many additional staffing they will need in LAX?
The CRJ is doing DEN, IAH, OKC, PHX and one ABQ. ERJ will do ELP, 2 ABQ, SMF, BOI, SLC, and TUS. So it will probably be ORD flying through DEN, IAH, OKC, and ABQ. Just rounding off block times I got 38 hours of extra ERJ flying a day out of LA or 1140 a month. Divided into 75 hour lines that's an additional 15 lines of flying. This is only a guess though.
