Yeah, I'm pretty sure the 8 1900s was the plan all along. But I've heard everything from 8 more Saabs to 50 more. Who knows. I'll believe it when I'm sitting in the left seat of one of them.

Is that different from the original plan ? 9 more saabs coming .... Plus talks of 10 after that, but that is just talks for now.... Weren't we supposed to reduce to that many 1900's originally ?
Well the 1900 was supposed to be gone from florida by October as we can see that didn't come to pass. No transition class for those of us left to fill the Florida schedules gaps on the 1900. Just like MIA smoke and mirrors.

Nothing like rolling eyes considering you can count in one hand who lives in these lost towns at this company. The EAS flights are basically employee shuttles to work.
They should consider what some pilots do for extra curricular activities before they wish us unleashed on some unsuspecting community on our days off....

Well, if a guy is dumb enough to take that job without some other source of income on the side he probably isn't smart enough to find the office that hands the food stamps out... just sayin'

In at least one outstation base, all you would need to do is follow the locals

Then again, you might end up visiting the local drug dealer rather than the food stamp office...

Just watched the employee roundtable meeting video. The CEO said that he actually turned down the HOU flying with Q400s and the MSP flying for Delta for this upcoming year. Said we were growing too fast and need to slow down. Looks like hiring is gonna slow to a trickle as they focus on efficiencies of their current flying.
