We need to let the CRJs go! And shrinkage is good for those who want to flow. An overstaffed airline is one that could choose to not meter for a few months maybe.

Sounds like bad logic. What does shrinking do for people trying to get off reserve? Isn't reserve one of the biggest issues at Envoy? What kind of negotiating power do you have while you are over-staffed and shrinking?

Long story short, the more growth that occurs the more excuse the company will have to meter, the more extensions, jr mans, the more crap the company will bend in the contract to fix its self-induced staffing problems.
And look - all fleets have staffing problems. The last bid had 50+ displaced immediately to captain because we aren't staffed correctly. Do you really want to grow more and exacerbate those issues? A few months of fleet stagnation or temporary reduction (til the next round of 175s arrive) would at least provide a reprieve.

There's enough movement that no one will be on rsv long (except CRJ captains).

I’m not stirring the pot, I’m genuinely interested to see how the cards are currently stacked.

I could probably figure out the number they're allowed to operate, but the problem is figuring out how many at the contract carriers fly for AAG vs the others.

I don't know. TBH I'm not sure how to get the numbers. I thought AAG was very close on large RJ scope, but apparently they can fit ten more.

AA scope is a little different than UA or DL. AA isn’t a hard number, but a percentage of the number of narrowbody hulls at mainline. And of the number that results from that, a certain percentage is allotted for “small” RJs (65 seats or less regardless of type) and for “large” (66 seats or more). They are reconfiguring all of the CR7s across Eagle to be 65 seats from what I understand, allowing for more large RJs to be added. Not sure the exact number of hulls of each type currently in service and the max allowed based on current mainline NB fleet size.
