I appreciate you citing a source for that. I'm going off the latest investment documents provided by spirit dated 9/27/15 as well as the latest quarterly webcast where the cfo details how the 319's are scheduled to leave the fleet.

How cheap gas is.
If they order NSNB 100 aircraft like the CS100/300 how fast deliveries could be expected and how fast they need to start training for that. (This is all a very large "long shot" for 2016--most likely 2017+)
Economic and political climate
Previous announcements were stating around 1000/year. I believe this year will end up with very close to that projection. Next year could be very close as well. I'd expect 60-80 new hires a month.

Could be six months.
Could be never.
The union and the company "decoupled" a new small mainline jet order from the TA. The company will buy (or not buy) for their own reasons and on their own timeline.

Agreed.....I would venture that with an extension agreement in hand, the company would be able to get more favorable terms from capital markets. Costs being a known vs the uncertainty of greater costs resulting from a new contract downstream

Also, with decoupling, since a NSNB order is no longer "required" by the TA it puts the CO in a stronger position to negotiate a good price with a manufacturer. I doubt anything will be announced prior to the final tally is announced for the TA.

Not many used CRJ-900s on the market, so I doubt that would come to fruition. New ones? Well, that's a different question. But -900s only have a seating capacity for 76 folks in a two class configuration. Again, doubtful.
