Probably because we are under 400 pilots (or will be soon), on the CRJ side.

I still don’t get it.

Furloughs cost $0

More of stealing from Peter to pay Paul. Anything to avoid a lawsuit by Delta I guess.

If the CRJ-700 finds a home somewhere with UAL operations, they have to open the bidding up to the whole list. That’s one possible scenario. I can’t imagine we would waste time training people for an operation that isn’t going to exist in 6 months.

BUT.......it is ExpressJet, so logic has no place in this discussion. My bad.

Has someone talked to upper mgmt or an ALPA rep lately?

Actually your statement about open the bid is not correct. There is a fence on the 700. The protection is through approx. Dec 1 2018.

I don’t think Inc will have the pilots to fly them in addition to the 30+ new airplanes being delivered to them this year.

Does the company have to pay unemployment to those furloughed
employees?

ERJ Training for the dileverys will be done by summer.. the DL CRJ700’s won’t start transfer tell late summer/fall.. 2 separate training programs... Only cross effect is CRJ Captains going to the ERJ.. just ask a OO pilot next time you jumpseat to show you the revision discription that just came out for the opdated opspecs... ( aircraft tail numbers added to certificate)

Plus its not realy a net gain. OO AA 200’s going away. Only half going to UA.
