There's no way we could staff that much extra flying without something big going down to fill classes.

- First and foremost, those are Endeavor's planes, I wan't nothing to do with "taking" another carrier's aircraft.
- Secondly, anyone who has flown a 200 will tell you, run. away. fast. No fadec, hot in the summer, climb like sh*t.......
- No way would could ever staff that kind of flying - we already have
more 900's and highly likely another batch of 175s to staff....
- That amount of new flying would set us up for disaster.

Given my source, I can say it's a fact, no longer a rumor. I would say who I got the info from, but as this is a public forum, I would hate to get that person in trouble- not that an exec can really get in trouble- who knows.
69 total EJETS will be on property is what I'm told.
Just remember, my source also told me about the first 30 back in Spring of 2013.
I hope the training dept has that street CA curriculum almost ready.....
