Some of the XE line bidding pilots mentioned are probably CRJ pilots in ORD who are in the XE system. Many are leaving.
Frankly, I think any ERJ pilot who commutes and meets the requirements should give it serious consideration unless close to moving over to UAL via the CPP. Especially with the ability to use employment leave (albeit only to the end of IOE), there is nothing to lose.

Why would they park CRJ200's when 20 were just transferred from OO?

Reading comprehension is short with you. Only a small portion of the pilot group is qualified on the CRJ; a greater majority is in the ERJ. We only spooled up the CRJ200 due to low training time but, if they continue to leave....

I can’t believe I responded to an obvious troll

Because it’s the most horrible airplane still operating at the regionals?

If they would hurry up and make announcements, the new hire situation could change in time to be a big help down the line.

It takes some time to turn that ship around, too. 2-3 months I’d guess before you see an uptick in the new hire numbers. Time is money...

Out of curiosity, why would the employment leave only be good to the end of IOE?

It’s part of the abbreviated interview with Kalitta. At the end of IOE you have to resign from the emolument leave or return to ExpressJet.
