The management team needs to sort through what their goals are with basing. The SDF base doesn’t make sense to me, and the ATL didn’t make sense to me for more than 4 aircraft and their crews given the number of United gates. That is a pretty small base. In ATL, Mesa also moved too slowly to pick up too many of the Xjet crews that were bailing.
If their goal is to preposition staffing on the Ejet for IAD, I think it would make more sense to place a few Ejets at IAD. That will allow CRJ crews to trickle over.
One thing I am glad of. This whole training issue everyone is whining about has been limited to hopefully one instructor since FO’s are making it to the line.

The CRJ's aren't going anywhere at minimum until the contract is up.
