they sent a email out to all FO’s saying there are over 100 upgrade spots on the CRJ for january. Please put your bid in. It was under 2 years last bid. And with low TT newhires. I would bet upgrade drops to Newhires that have the time soon.

There are currently *plenty* of folks with an upgrade bid in, just not a lot of them have the ANY at the end. 🤷🏻♂️

70 additional Captain openings for DTW, and another 30 or so for ORD on the CRJ. Plus, they'll need to backfill for this month's attrition and transfers. After downsizing DTW a while back now it's nearly doubling in size. (Which DL partner can't staff its flying?) CRJ captain pays a minimum of $75k a year and they are begging people to do it. And someone upgrading in January could easily break $100k in 2022.
This doesn't look good for CRJ to ERJ transitions in the spring.

ZeroTT has it right. Skywest will be here in 10 years but it will be smaller. As airframes get replaced by mainline aircraft, (DL and UAL), and pilot retention becomes harder and harder, it will naturally shrink or be absorbed by a mainline carrier to keep pilots. Flight attendants will be the only real losers as they lose jobs in droves when the regionals shrink and disappear,

not sure they can grow. Won’t have pilots. Heck. I heard half the crew support team quit during the server meltdown of 2021. Mechanics are quitting in droves to go work elsewhere. People should be running to escape the regionals, not walking.

The labor supply issues are huge. Big enough i expect multiple carriers to shut down. At which point the remaining carriers will have an opportunity to hire.
