I don't think 50 seaters provide the customer experience that the mainlines would like to portray either.

Paid off and in very high demand. But also adding to long term future with new E175’s. (Yes the 200’s are in hot demand. 6 new eas citys to start and look at AS wanting 7 to fly and cover QX. Don’t think that will stop anytime soon..)

They would likely be encouraging people to go to the CRJ since that's where we seem to have the staffing issues.

The preference for new hires to go to the CRJ is starting to wane with the 45 new ERJs... will probably be evenly split going forward.
Half of the ERJs announced for DL will be plying the east coast... no firm base for them yet.

Looking at applying to SkyWest in early 2018. If made an offer, could I defer my start date to sometime in say May? (Mil/Family Commitments). Also, how long would I have to wait to be LAX based? Thanks in advance guys.
