Also your math is way off lol. You have no idea the experience of those 325. Some might be a lot closer than you think

This....

Also, the upgrade pace is slowing. Only one CRJ upgrade class for June, and the DVR shows absolutely zero vacancies for all bases except Detroit in all seats on both airframes. The growth party may be ending....

Given that many of them skipped CRJ classes to hold out for the 175 in the first place, it isn't that unreasonable to assume that a fair amount of 175 FOs are gonna hold out for upgrades into the 175 (which won't affect people upgrading into the CRJ at all). A bit foolish IMHO, given the inevitable wave of transitions from more senior captains--but then, so is waiting for a 175 newhire class when CRJ classes are running full-tilt.

I suspect that we will see an updated DVR by end of May.

Upgrade classes probably slow down as we buckle down for the busy summer season. I would expect them to come up again for Sep.

It's money that I get when I work. The more I work, the more per diem I get. That sounds like income to me.

If you get more than you spend on ME&I, then it goes into the same pot that pays the bills.

That being said, almost 10 year CRJ CA (with per diem and bonus, not LCA) 112K last year, 108k the 2014. Approx 5k in per diem both years.

I have to admit, though: 100k doesn't do as much these days as it would have 10 years ago.

At this point they don't have enough pilots in either seat wanting to transfer into Detroit to fill the July 1st compliment. That may change, but I'd expect see the next several upgrade classes be entirely for Detroit, as well as the next few near hire classes going there.

But it could become an attractive option for folks who are commuting to somewhere else already.

what can we expect for new 175s?

Is it just a rumor that some west coast bases will expand? how many? Where do they go? Trying to game my transfer out of ORD a bit.

What does Horizon's purchase of E175s do to our expected expansion with shared domiciles SEA and PDX? Thoughts??
