I'd have to go through the email. But it did it SPECIFICALLY say "70 seat aircraft", or was it simply "larger 2 class cabin aircraft".

IOW, just something bigger than what L-XJT has now on the books, but not specifically 70 seat, etc.

Nevermind. Just looked back at previous few pages. Looks like we are all in the same boat.
They should have took some guidance from DL/NW......fix your union/personel issues and then move on. This company apparently was more concerned in setting records for SOC...

It was mentioned briefly ( by briefly, I mean it was said and then followed up with thats all i can say, just be looking for news soon and it will make sense)in a meeting we had at one of the CRJ bases by someone that would know. Maybe thats what they are hoping for or maybe its true i dont know. It came across as if it was done and info would be coming soon.

Probably for attrition. Guess the light finally came on at the ATech that if they shut down hiring it will be Critical Mass Part II real soon. Every time I'm in the crew room I talk to or overhear a Captain saying it's their last trip.
