I don't know the exact remaining number of 900s to be delivered but maybe 6 or 7? We are being told that the remaining Envoy 700s are being deferred until January 2017. However, unless they start doing something in the next few months to really start getting people to want to come here again then we won't be able to staff them and my guess is they will go somewhere else like AWAC, SkyWest, or Mesa. I've been told that they plan on announcing ORD sometime soon as a recruiting tool to get more commuters interested in this place. But ORD is sort of predicated on our being able to staff and grow AND receive the remaining Envoy 700s that AAG wants transferred. So the company may be playing with fire on that one.
And yeah, a better base will help; just look at Mesa and their ability to get people to show up. Although that could be coming to a close.

The company knows how to staff, they're just dragging their feet hoping that, somehow, they won't have to pay what it's going to take to staff.

From my understanding, PSA management has been more than willing to work with our Union regarding improving things to attract new pilots. It's AAG that doesn't want to cough up any more money. Apparently PSA management has taken ideas to AAG and been stonewalled every time.

There's what AAG wants to do, and what they're going to have to do, and those are very different things. If they want to be flying a lot of 76 seat aircraft they're going to have to figure out how to compete in this market.

But for now, should we just fly it and grieve it?

Is it likely they'd fire someone? Probably not, but your guess is as good as mine. Is it possible? Sure, go read section 5 of the Pilot Employee Handbook and 26.U of the contract. Would you get your job back? Most likely. In the end the question boils down to how long do you want to risk not earning an income?
