I predict the outstation bases to be closed as the dashes retire and we'll primarily serve PHL and ???, but thats just a WAG.

But like Old said, it's if they can staff the planes.

60 ERJs is about 600 pilots. We are nearing 500 pilots now. It will mean an early end to the dash fleet but it is certainly attainable. 60 airplanes is still growth, and I wouldn't be surprised to see 80+ in the end.

I would think that you would prefer to see regionals shrinking with more flying being done by mainline, but I guess not. Enjoy flying your 50 seat jets.

I know that I'll annoy some of you longtime posters within this thread, but I have to ask, how is the flow shaping up nowadays? Will the quick upgrades last until next spring (I'll have the 1000 SIC by then, ha), and is the jet attainable for new-hires (seems that it isn't by cursorily scanning these pages)?
