Parking more 145’s to staff the 175’s....
 

Looks like “Subodh” finally admits it...

“We just staffed them. 19-05 bid awarded enough captains for 20 new 175 airframes. We will park the 145s.

Come on over we would love to have you.”

The writing has been on the wall for a while so nothing new there.

I thought this place had a contract to staff a certain amount of 145s 80-90 or so, XJT could be a dual fleet for the foreseeable future yes?

I’m simply saying staffing any new 175s is the priority and yes we will park as many 145s as necessary to make it happen. This seems like common sense. I didn’t realize it was some great revelation.

I still believe that we will grow and that parking the 145s won’t be necessary. In fact in about 2 weeks I think we grow enough to offset the losses from the past several months. Then when the 19-06 bid drops and upgrades fall to under 2 years the floodgates will open. Grab some popcorn SureJetz. At least you are starting to realize I know what I’m talking about.

I just got awarded the 175 CA out of ORD at 3yrs of being here. This is pretty cool. On the 1905 award there had to be about 85 ORD 175 upgrades awarded
