I have good intel that says a new announcement regarding additional 900s is coming soon (not the 200s the OP alluded to). My contact also mentioned that DLCX is very interested in the smaller MRJ. Mitsubishi reps have been in ATL and MSP meeting with senior leadership. Contemplating a replacement for aging 900s in 3+ years. I definitely did not see that coming.

Our contract says line pilots can only be typed on one, if they want to renegotiate, cool. I think they've tried in the past and the union "wants too much" for the efficency that would grant the company.
It's not about clinging to the old ways, it's about not giving up stuff just to give it up.
