The 15 aircraft would be crj 200 right? I am interviewing with expressjet soon for the Atlanta base. I hope the base doesn't shrink

Aren't those 19 RJs owned by Delta? I believe those RJs were also part of the deal to return them to Bombardier in exchange for 40 new 900s

Delta/Bombardier might own them as an intermediary but they are really owned by a leasing company. The leasing companies have deserts full of these things and are willing to sell/lease/give them away at this point. It wouldn't surprise me if you started seeing some of these 50 seaters get sold right back to the regional that operated them after the mainline carrier gave up their rights to extending the lease. The engine maintenance and overhaul is where it gets tricky.

I've got an interview next week. Are they currently hiring into the CRJ and does anyone know if ATL is an option? Thanks

I do not think so. If they where why would the company says they are trying to flying for them.

No. Those are PNCL a/c not current a/c.

I hope not. That would be horrific for junior CR7 line holders in ATL that live in base.

Yeah, it would kinda be like when St. George moved into IAH.

All 50 seat flying is dead in the water. Period. Republic and Skywest will suck the life out of Expressjet, the monster is the mainline narrow body flying that is really going to put a lot of pilots on the street. Expressjet is not meant to have any future via Skywest. Expressjet has ZERO!!!! Toast!!!!! Step off the Titanic. Gracefully.

I also doubt anybody will be "out on the street" as the shrinking of the 50's will take a while and in the mean time legacy's hiring will ramp up. Also, as the CR2 goes out the EMB 175's that are on order will fill in. ExpressJet has the most to lose I think as they are relatively high paid (compared to PNCL/RJET/etc), so I'd think pay raises are going to be tough to come by. In the next few years I dont think XJT or really any big player will be a bad place to be, get your time, and move on. Back to the old days before the massive stagnation and waiting for retirements (unless they raise the age again, but even then, not all will even physically make it, or even want to..).
