I have been pondering this crusade to hire high-timers for the jet...other airlines use 500/50 hour CFI's (or less ), so you'd think SKW would be OK with 1000/100 for CRJ FO's.

My suspicion is that there is some big growth coming that we don't know about yet but management does. They may be stacking the jet deck with people who have enough time to upgrade on short notice...
