Except for the continual 175 deliveries. I'm not calculating exact numbers but from the look of it we're going to stay mostly static, maybe slight growth. According to the earnings call and other communications they are very hesitant to commit to anything new because they aren't certain how pilot hiring is going to go.

Why do I get the distinct feeling I just fed a troll?

It's something like 100 175s over the next year being deliverer. We're losing very few CRJs, a lot are going to other partners, 700s replacing 200s for American. Skywest is growing, the pilot group will be between 4500-5000 before long.

Interesting since we have no CRJ100s! What a loss!!! Your troll game is weak.

I meant the 200. Everyone knows they are on their way out. No amount of koolaid will stop that. I've only been here a year but man do they gulp it down here. There are still guys who think they will be able to retire here. Ha. Ok.

While fuel is cheap we'll have as many -200's that we can staff. They're cheap and SkyWest knows how to make money on them. Even though our partners don't want 50 seaters, they won't say no if we keep putting them on at risk routes. I don't think -700's will be going to Pellston or Bemidji.
