It's true that were looking for 400. However most of it is due to FTDT and expected flow to AA.

If you lick it, you'll find it wasn't sugar at all but sawdust spray-painted white. :eek:

BTW, he mentioned something along the lines of replacing mainline flying with regional flying.

Sure, that will happen to some degree, so that's nothing new. Your CRJ-900 (if you can even hold it) will be shinier then your current saddle, but you won't be a dime richer for the privilege. In fact, with inflation and health care, you'll be poorer.

But, it's good for you, so I say "enjoy" ! :rolleyes:

Yep, at least half with numbers won't be flowing, so you might get a hundred pilots there. The 824 (if Parker doesn't wax that) won't be going anytime soon as there are hundreds of recalls as well. If they do get to the 824 and that doesn't vaporize down the road, they be much more junior which means 500-600 senior pilots won't be moving up anytime soon and will wallow under PBS with their current seniority.

That's if AA even hires. Since as RJ pilot claims mainline will be shrinking, then I expect NO transfers to AA for years and well, you get the picture...........:cool:

Well, ORD, LGA/JFK (soon to be a "co-domicile"), MIA and DFW. Junior bases will probably be the LGA/JFK and possibly ORD. MIA and DFW are going to go senior probably as the LAX guys displace there. ORD CRJ may go senior as well since it has overnights in LAX.

Oh yeah, there is also SJU but that is also going away.
