The class that started last week was 6 E190 PHl and 8 A320 DCA but we are getting five more E190's so I would think future classes might be mostly PHL E190.

It's more than that, at least for the 190. IIRC it's something like 85 hours per month plus per diem.

Boeing is 36000 salary for the year though I think they're done putting guys in the 737.

Anyone else heard the rumor that Airways is asking pilots from certain regionals to bring in their fuel usage statistics to the interview?

What? Are there really airlines that give pilots a record of fuel usage?
