Never say never, but it’s never going to happen. It is too final and expensive of a solution for a short term problem. This wave will subside in a year and a half. Things will be different, but not that different.

175 vs 145
Expected to have a class date in early fall this year. I understand that they are phasing out the 145s and introducing the 175s. I was told that the only reason the 145s are still at the company is because they are trying to free up space in the simulators for 145 pilots to train on the 175. If this is true, are they still going to put guys with low seniority in ground school on the 145 later in the year? Or is everyone getting 175 aircraft like the previous classes? Would love to hear some feedback.

This sounds about right. Honestly, I think the parked number since is 3 but not sure. There have been a few "parked" around our system as 'spares' that wouldn't normally be spares. It seems if the airplane is due for a heavy check, it gets parked for retirement and if we just can't staff it, it goes somewhere in our system and is parked as a spare as far as I can tell. Maybe that changes this fall but it makes sense for the summer rush at least imo.
