The only reason why I took the E175 transition when I did was to get the holidays off. So far it has worked out pretty good.

I fly with tons of captains who commute from SLC. I'm happy that there's a little light forming at the end of the tunnel for them. Most upgraded to MSP and ORD assuming they would never get back to SLC.
My theory is they are beefing up the SLC base for the training bubble that will come when they announce the SLC 175 and those guys start transferring over. They will still have to staff all that CRJ flying out of SLC until several of the 175s come online.

Hey, can't seem to pm anymore. If you still have them I'm still interested so shoot me a pm if you can.

Im not convinced they will come to SLC. Think they realy didnt have. Good grasp of SLC staffing. We had 440 Captains there back in the day.. And when a ron left over the past summer they never backfilled it. Think they got caught with there pants down with only 4 reserve line the other month and realized what happened to the "princess" base..

I wasn't convinced they were coming to SLC either until I heard they are putting a 175 sim in the SLC Flight Safety. Thats what made me change my mind and that would make sense with the staffing. They are even put more FOs in SLC and there are plenty of those already.

We should be over 5000 pilots by the end of next year at this rate. I already have a few hundred under me and just finishing IOE now. Ready to pick up as much flying as I can.

Over 5000? Highly doubtful with 30-50 pilots leaving a month. I'm sure that number of 30-50 will only increase next year.

While 5000 might be a stretch, the list has grown by over 500 in the last 18 months. Not sure how long they can keep that up. Also I'm quite certain JB22 is a troll.

If they really wanted to beef up SLC they wouldn't need to award 10 here 10 there like they do for junior bases like MSP and ORD. If they had a DVR with 100 SLC CA vacancies on the CRJ they'd fill it instantly.

Thats only for travle problems. DL 175's = must travel them on Delta not UA. Plus the free empty space in the SLC FSI building.. Reason the rest of the sims are in DEN. Im still guessing LAX/SEA.. Will know by May 16'...
