This does seem to be a popular subject lately. How many aircraft for DL and AS already online? Is the growth just starting or is it coming to an end?

DL: 19 175s. I believe we take delivery of the first one this month. First few will enter service in Sept based in Seattle. No word yet on where later deliveries will be based, but the rumor has always been SEA and LAX, so I'd assume LA will see a few at some point.
Alaska: not sure how many we have in service at this point. 10ish? Announced so far is 20 total 175s for Alaska.
If you want PNW basing, OO is a good choice right now since that is where most of the 175 growth is going. Additionally, we still have another 20 or so UA 175s coming on board as well, so there is certainly a lot of growth in store on the 175 fleet. As of right now we're slated to have 104 or so 175s when it's all said and done and we have about half that on property at this point.

I need some crystal ball help, if a senior-ish wanted to transfer in and out of big bases on a monthly basis, what would you guess the likelihood of getting burned and trapped are?

Estimating that the good times keep rolling.

Sorry. I was in a bad mood yesterday.. I would pick SkyWest over Compass. SKW is more "rooted" out west. Does Compass even have a mx base west of the rockies...??...

I wouldn't recommend it... I know there was a rumor of someone speaking to management about flying in ORD not growing. Never believe rumors or you will be burned by something that has no validity

LAX is a maintenance base, with hangar.

In other news, RIP RG. He was one of the last of a dying breed of good CPs. Mgmt claims another life.
