Military in this context generally means winged military aviators, which would include former military, and guard/reserve so there were a few more of those also coming from SKW (two came out my unit alone).

As often as they want?

Reserve pilots getting RDY added at the end of assigned trips is the most common type of RDY you will see. Its normally only a few hours max

42 ERJ upgrades/transitions by my count. Doubt the majority of those will be filled by upgrades.

Two months now of big dumps of CRJ capt in Ord and no announcements. Speculating AA stuff could be bigger than I've heard.

Could you let me know of some specifics: how many routes, in what airplanes, and what it means from your perspective for a new FO in a 175...?

My theory is we're slowly taking Envoy's CRJ flying.
