Congrats guys. You'll finally be able to carry 50 passengers at once.

Just want to say that while I'm glad we are getting more aircraft, it pains me that this comes at the expense of a great pilot group at ExpressJet. Hopefully if we need Street Captains or guys that can upgrade fast, ALPA can swing some kind of deal with the company to give ExpressJet guys expedited interviews and preferential hiring.

I would be surprised if these aircraft were 100% growth. Some may be replacing some of TSA's planes that have no thrust reversers and are constantly weight restricted.

I did say I could be wrong. Here you go. Congrats, happy for the pilots there currently, management, not so much.

They're only going to need 200-250 guys to staff this plenty of people leaving other regionals to fill seats.

Probably more like 300-360. I think we are staffing right around 5 per seat.

After some of the crap I took for predicting growth on this board last summer, I think I will....
