My guess is to catch up on the backlog of people that need to go through transition training. I know a few Dash guys that got awarded the 145 months ago that are still sitting on the Dash.

No reason but I would guess to catch up with training?

Anyone know why the Clt sim is being so underutilized? I understand it just got signed off but I thought they'd have that thing running as much as possible not just 8 hrs/day. Maybe lack of instructors?!?

I guess this dash 100s will be flying a little bit longer

I've heard there are only 10 -100s left flying the line as of the other day. There just aren't very many left to cover whatever flying it is that they normally do. Lots of -300s going into HHH these days, for example.

31?! Thought we were supposed to be at 36? That's not a good sign.
