Why would there be more attrition on the Ejet side? And where do you think all these pilots are being hired?

My first few months commuting to reserve there were pretty rough financially.

The CRJ Captain side is full of lifers. The Ejet side is full of relatively young and hungry Captains with ambitions for better airlines who would and are moving on to Spirit/Virgin/JetBlue/Atlas/Southwest/United/Delta/American at their earliest opportunity.

Uh, lifer CRJ captains and long CRJ FO reserve have nothing to do with each other.

You can't fill CRJ classes because people can fly them anywhere else and make a lot more money. The only reason Mesa can fill ERJ classes is SJS.
