Reduction in frequency and upgaging is oversimplifying things a bit. Not exactly a 1/1 exchange to balance things out. In a competitive market, buy doing such you run a large risk of losing traffic to other carriers simply because you cannot offer the same schedule and frequency. Combine that with connection traffic into major hubs, you could get yourself behind the 8 ball quick.
I do agree there are "regional" jets on routes that have zero business being on. I feel the major reason the 50 seat RJ's gets such a bad rap is because the majors were using them on routes they should have never been flying on in the first place. I think its great the majors are finally realizing that the regional model needs to be fine tuned. I am still not sold on what they think the marketplace is for the E175 however....

E-jet to MSP? Heard that may be announced this fall... Just a rumor at this point though.

You can get MSP immediately out of training and will spend about a month, maybe two on reserve depending on your class seniority (based on your last 4 of your social)

0 months and 0 months. You will likely be a line holder in MSP before you finish training. You'll finish out the month on reserve after completing IOE.

Does anyone know if training pay (65 hours per month) and travel benefits start at the beginning of CTP or only upon starting ground school for the Type Rating? Thank you
Also, after DTW and MSP, what are the next 1-2 most junior bases please?
