If you look at the bids there were a lot of changes about 2-3 weeks ago. People saw how Jr the ERJ was and realized they could hold a better schedule or even get off reserve by bidding over.
30% of the class has to be offered to Dash guys, unless they start cutting the transitions out they will have to run a dash class every other month.
We did hire street captains (5) in August, just they won't call them that. They completed Indoc and were awarded captain before Systems.
