I don't know how many they have, but I know the history of wishful thinking rumors over there. The amount of 700s allowed in the DL system is maxed out, so they have to come from someone.

It's not wishful thinking, its what management/Union has said is possible.

If I had a nickle... ahh, you get the idea.

If it does happen (along with the 200s staying), I'll make sure you get the chance to tell me you told me so.

Thanks

Nope, unlike JBlue you get a full PIC type and do training from the left seat (right seat as well, but type ride in left seat). This is probably why I keep landing right of centerline in the sim, haha I haven't flown from the left seat in over 10 years hahaa.

Well there is an RFP for 32Crj 700's and our company is bidding on it. How many does go jets have? The things I've said is whats what's being talked about here. Again my opinion no different than your skewed Logic.

I thought Go jets had 22 700s on the Delta side.

That is according to my research....which may be flawed! :)

Yes, but I hear the only reason they fully type the FO is because the FLL to Lima Peru is a flag route and it requires the FO to be PIC typed?

In any case, you do have to pay the Airbus PIC type unintended consequence fee. ;)

To the OP:

Okay, since no one has said it yet, the answer to your question is, "If you are senior to me, bail out now. If you're junior, eh, whatever."

Fine, the top 40% of any regional can stop sending out resumes. That will help the junior guys move on and take the spots that those top 40ish percent would have been "hogging up.". I guess that is a win-win.
