I still think we need a "100" seat aircraft but its going to have to be the E2 or the C series.
I guess we will see.

I have made some extra money by picking up a Hybrid (if they are good) and then hustling all month, and then back on Reserve the next.
But-- beware. I held a hybrid in December with the thought that if they saw 110 hours of projected credit on the DRO, I probably wouldn't get used on most of the RSV days. I was totally wrong-- I ended up working 10 out of 13 reserve days. Also if you are a commuter it is SCL only with a hybrid. No option for LCL so really only works for those in base.

Awesome. Thanks.
