Allow me to throw a wrench in your predictions. Starting in January 2005, a LOT of guys that started on the Bro and were seatlocked for a year are transitioning to the RJ. Taking a quick glance at the standing bid list, I see approx 92 Brasilia pilots that are on the list for transition with seatlocks released between now and May 3, 2005.
Since existing pilots get first dibs on the open jet slots, expect a similar amount of Brasilia hiring in the next few months. Expect lots of openings in SLC and FAT, not so many in DEN. No Brasilias in COS.
