Sure Delta owns Atl but they would put 175s there for the same reason they put them in SLC....airplanes fly to a different market before they come back.

I was. Why would they go through the costs of getting a 175 certificate for 9E when there’s three other Delta Connection carriers with it already set up ready to do that flying?

Pilot group size is what he is referring to. March so far, will be the first month in a while where we are net negative pilots. Just a few, but negative.

February classes were low. The system classes starting Monday on the CRJ is 40 ERJ 11. Classes run every two weeks. Heard the next CRJ is over 40. Not saying will grow our list. That’s becoming tuff. But. We need to hire 40-60 each month to break even. Looks like March 1- April 1 will be -9 pilots..

They have been doing a lot more upgrades now. In the fall they stacked FO’s up on the ERJ.. that same clas has 13 CA’s in it. And I misspoke the ERJ class started last week.
