No way. That base has a ridiculous amount of reserve staffing

Not even close. 200+ FO's in base with only 95 lines. Way over staffed right now.

I'm around 6 months and very much still on reserve. Pretty senior on it yet never fly despite wanting to. I have absolutely no idea why there are so many people in ORD on this plane. Either they know something we don't (new flying coming?) or maybe they over planned for attrition. It's a great plane with long legs, good overnights, and great training but I would take the CRJ if I were starting now. It's no fun commuting in to sit around making only 76 hours.

All the 175 bases are sitting pretty fat right now. It's a good problem to have unless you're commuting to reserve. In that case I feel for you.

I think we're on the precipice of more flying to be announced.

Word, fat on the 175 pretty much everywhere, acquiring more sims, classes still running full steam ahead and now they're looking for more instructors on the thing.

For who? Everyone is scoped out at this point besides Alaska and there's not really much extra to be had from them. This Alaska flying could go bye bye if Horizon takes the concessions mgmt. is asking for. (I doubt they do but it's always a possibility.) My best guess is 700's get replaced by 175's slowly over the next few years and that's about it.

When I was in training my instructor came in smiling saying he got off a conference call saying we were going to be awarded Some of Republics UA flying in 2016 on the ERJ.... We will see if that holds true and when it happens. (Maybe this is why we are sitting really fat on reserves right now..)
