Yes, there will be some growth on the 175 and movement on both airframes, but there are still a number of people on the CRJ that will probably flee to Dallas when they get displaced.

Because they came to Envoy for DFW and were prison sentenced to the CRJ. Mostly DEC's.

2 from our class are now in 145 class.
Every DEC we had wanted ORD.

Thinking for the 145...but, still unknown at this point.
Interview for possible DEC next week...you know, to see if they like the smell of my cologne. :D
And, yes, I'm well aware that I will be on reserve until infinity...I've got the concept. Which is why I would want to live in base.
