Hiring around 200 more FO's and now street captains? With no new flying announced. Something is up, I can think of 3 reasons why perhaps. 1. Getting the next round of EJets. 2. Those new CRJ orders were by Mesa. 3. The Delta flying is for sure going to happen.

No you're not. Hopefully something is announced. But JO could be saving the announcement for when th pilot supply starts running thin
In this environment, regionals who are filling classes--and regionals who can say "hey look we have +40 pilots on our list and +30 pilots on reserve in this base, with 200 guys in the pipeline"--those regionals get the new planes. The legacies aren't concerned with staffing their own operation, however when it comes to regional feed, I am firmly convinced that having fully-subscribed new hire classes and even surplus pilots on the books are massive advantages for a regional to secure new flying. Hate on JO all you want, but the man is insanely smart when it comes to business--he's pitching the fact that our classes are full to our mainline partners, and playing on their fears of understaffed regionals causing network disruptions, and it's working out well for him (if not our payrates). |

This^^. JO basically said this -- Why we are overstaffed. And that he wants to stay overstaffed for this reason.

The only leverage JO has are the surplus of pilots. Other Regionals have turbo prop and 50 seat jets to trade for new planes.
