They told us a lot of the aircraft would be replacements for some really old 170s we have have and then some would be growth, especially that option for an additional 100 tacked on the end of the deal.

All regionals are hiring like crazy because they don't want to repeat the fiasco from a few years ago of not planning for attrition. This industry doesn't even need "growth" to keep it good for pilots, all we need is for the old guys to keep getting older and age out.
I'd say consolidation will be a much bigger force than growth. 50% of all domestic flights are done on regional metal, how much more of the pie are the majors willing to let go of?

Well, there is at least one major (cough Alaska cough) that has no scope whatsoever. In fact the first aircraft their regional ever flew was a DC-9. Then there is Moxy....
Who really knows where the industry is going?

Funny, I was there for recurrent recently and was told just the opposite from management. The first 100 aircraft were for pure growth,which is why they are loading up on FOs right now. The option for 100 more was to replace older aircraft
