This is from todays New York Times:
"The pilots have also agreed to let US Airways increase its number of regional jets to 465. These smaller planes, which are cheaper to operate than longer-range aircraft, are considered crucial to the restructuring plan because they can be used in flying new routes. In return, the airline's regional jet subsidiaries will hire some of the 1,070 pilots now on furlough, Mr. Freundlich said"
