Both sims in CLT are 700 capable (One is 200/700, the other 700/900). All 3 in CVG are 200 only.

As of now, you spend 32-40 hours in initial, and 8 hours in differences. Why not do the initial in the one that we have more sims of?

Other than that, there is no real reason to start initial training in the 700's. It certainly isn't to speed up the sims, because we have many more 200 sims than 700 sims.
That said, our pay would go up too, so there's that.
It'll also be interesting to see what effect that would have on TYS and DAY as bases. I know TYS doesn't see the larger airframes very often.

I highly doubt AWAC would take on more RJ's. They have their hands full with the 71 they have now.

They aren't doing every class as a 700/900 initial. Every third class will be a 200 class. The first 700/900 initial class started IPTs this week.
Don't start rumors that have absolutely zero evidence.

Putting 30 people through (2) 700 sims for 40 hours seems silly and likely to create an increased delay.

Besides, the big backlog is IOE, not sims.

PSA officially have more 700/900 vs 200. It makes perfect sense to make that airplane the focus in training since that's what you'll see more of on the line.
