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.

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.

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.
