First 175 leaves im March..
This is all too new for an accurate answer. However, additional airframes means the need for additional crews. The company increased the DEC bonus to the maximum allowed by the CBA $40,000. So that suggests XJT doesn’t have enough FO’s willing to upgrade to cover the fleet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

And some regionals have people swimming in a pool for a class date so staffing won’t be an issue. The pilot shortage argument has been going on for 10 years
As near as I can tell there isn’t a single regional able to hire as many as they want as of today and for a couple months now. It’s finally hitting everyone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

those 19 options don’t even come into play. A lot more has to happen to make them FIRM orders. Where does Republic come into play in all this?

skwest has classes filled for months out, and TSA had classes filled until May before they stopped hiring and laid off their last class.

Actually those orders became firm only one week after the announcement last June. Embraer has 39 outstanding FIRM E175s Owed to United as of last September. Haven't checked it since then.
United ordered 20 +19 options. Those options can only be delivered if Skywest has their 19 CRJ7’s converted to CRJ5’s as those are the last CRJ7 aircraft in the UAX fleet. Mesa’s announcement for 20 175’s was them taking over the financing obligation from United for the 20 175’s United ordered. |

If you are already a 121 pilot, you have access to our Industry Experience Credit, which allows you to transfer your 121 time and flight hours and use them towards captain upgrade time as well as increased starting pay. Additionally, SkyWest recently announced that it will be expanding its fleet with 50 new E-175 aircraft! Upon application, you are eligible for an expedited interview process. We have immediate class dates available as soon as March.
