To be clear, while it is going to be a 170 MX base, nothing has been said about it being a 170 crew base.
I have to say that it would be a mistake for RJET to add to it's midwestern/northeastern outstation lunacy, but someone in SDF must know where the bodies are buried because when the CHQ cutbacks were announced, management made a great and immediate effort to "reassure" SDF folks that keeping the MX facility there was a high priority. I don't understand it, but perhaps someone else could offer some insight.

That was a direct quote. New pilots will come from flight schools. Economy is picking up; flight schools are booked.

I correctly predicted that a bunch of friends who went to Mesa @2004 would never upgrade at Mesa and I'm gonna make a similar prediction about the RJET outstations. Anyone hired into an RJET outstation from this point on will not upgrade into that same outstation at RJET.
RJET's mainline partners are furious with the company...UAL customer satisfaction ratings are dead last amongst UEX carriers and this is undoubtedly costing the company both future and current business opportunities.
There are problems at RJET that even a mind-blowing new contract cannot repair and the outlook for anyone hired at RJET in the future is not very bright.
