So you don't.

But that's absolutely no reason to not have the rate established.

Thank your lucky stars. Those 145's are awful. Pax don't like them and deadheading crew loth them. They were great in 95 but got stale faster than any jet since. Including to 200.

Interesting times ahead the next few weeks. Hoping there are enough 200's left for anyone who wants a job.

I've got 1000 hours in the metro and you guys are complaining that the CRJ is hot.

Now try landing that on a short, gravel runway that's barely been maintained in winter at the dead of night with terrible weather, 20 watt runway light bulbs, and nothing but a crappy ndb circling approach....

...aaaand welcome to canada. The crj doesn't sound so bad

So is XJT even still really hiring then? I've got a couple interviews, one of which is for XJT and I'm just putting my ear to the ground. This is a pretty long thread...
