I heard Mesa lost the South American CRJ bids. They still have the routes from AA but need to find 900s.

That's what I heard. We are actively looking for more 900s.

Would it be a smart move to hire the pilots for additional flying if we don't have the aircraft yet?

JO also said we are currently overstaffed by 40 pilots.

Yes. He also said they're still hiring with 2 CRJ classes per month until mid summer.

Or at least they hope, either that or he is pretty confident that new flying is gonna happen. Being over staffed by 40 pilots while still hiring 2 classes a month through the summer is interesting. (I'm assuming most of this is on the CRJ side)

I suppose in this current environment it's better to be overstuffed than to be understaffed like most regionals.

He confirmed the rumor that we'll be hiring street captains this year.
