It's what I thought too.

175 pilots seemed a little low if they are going to slash 500 jobs total.

Airshuttle is Mesa hence they do not fly 170's or 175's. Did you mean Shuttle America?

I heard from the Training Department 177 Pilots. around 400 total reductions. This includes everyone other than pilots. Dispatches, Station (gate) agents, and some management.

Sad times for everyone is aviation.

I am sure your E170 capt friend of yours must not be in the know... They are only going to reduce pilots by as much as 175 people. Majority of the cuts are going to be with the MX, Dispatch, and office. Also the FA's are going to be feeling the hurt the most. This is from a person who is in the know!

Them along with the FO's that were hoping for a quick upgrade.
