50 seaters are the most profitable airframe at OO right now. United 700's are the least profitable. We're swapping United 700's for United 175's and almost every 700 that's come off contract so far has been placed in service for another carrier. I've heard we will be putting some 700's in dtw as well. Long story short, with incredibly attractive lease terms/prices and profitable routes the 200 isn't going anywhere in the near term. It's the new Brasilia.

Unfortunately, the majors have already sounded the death knell on the 200s. They are going. And by the time they leave, gas will be headed back up skywards and will expedite their departure.

Junior PDX FO is a 12/15 hire.
12 more Alaska birds
All Delta 175s are going on the west coast. Delta bennies included for those bases.
So unless CRJ transitions are heavy, it's not far off

Once seniority is finally honored and the Delta flying is established, my guess is you will see quite a bit of movement to the 175 from the RJ pilots. It may not matter much in regards to movement from the bottom with the amount of attrition we have been seeing (225 so far this year)

Well judging from the overwhelming silence from SAPA on the issue, it wouldn't surprise me if they are not planning on honoring seniority going forward. They will just keep pushing it out a couple months at a time.

PBS, SGU & SAPA don't care about seniority. It's something other airlines have.

Delta is going to be flight benefits only for those who live in base for it. Too hard to change the 41#s into 40#s. That means IF there are transitions it will be to the west coast bases where the Delta 175s are going
