Well, SkyWest is definitely increasing its presence in LGA on the DL side very quickly, and it is mostly staffed with ORD crews at the moment. To get those ORD crews to LGA, SkyWest is operating many of the ORD-LGA flights.

I can't remember the exact number, but I think 30 ERJ-175SC's are going to be doing Delta flight out of NYC. I think it's more likely replacing DL ExpressJet flying out there. I'm not sure how big LGA is suppose to be, pilot wise but I think the flying will be staffed by both ORD and LGA pilots. They are going to have trouble staffing LGA I believe. For June there are mainly flights to ORD, BNA, CLT, PIT, RDU, and BOS thrown in there. There's even a few legs to JFK, as well, from those cities.

Almost every one based there now is still in training. Only 2 crews are there for June. A few more for July.
