He didn't say 1 Dec of this year....

Nah, I don't think it'll happen in '07, but the 900 rumor has circulated even over to the prop side of the house.

Current logic holds that we can't staff properly for the a/c we have now, how could we absorb more?

Much more likely, IMHO, would be a reduction in 200 flying and airplanes that corresponds with an increase in 900 flying.

Training program has already been established, IIRC.

Difference what 3 days and no sim. The 700 and 900 are the same!

You mean Pinnacle starts flying 16 CRJ-900s out of ATL on December 1?

so would an FO with low seniority currently on the 200 still be better off staying there than bidding 700/900? (in terms of schedule) Guessing 200 guys are going to start jumping over to fly something bigger/shinier? But will 200 lines decrease? are any 200s going to SkyW?

ASA has had a program for a while now. Remember those 900s you got? Yeah... they were slotted to go to ASA first.

If that much...at Comair it is 1 day (and shouldn't even be that much) of differences and no sim (most of the differences is spent on aerodata, which I think ASA already uses)

You sure you're not confusing it with the -700s getting first class?

I heard they were being transferred from B concourse. Thank goodness those guys don't have a real union.
