As far as I can tell there are 15 people that started yesterday. Not sure how many Dash or Embraer slots there are just yet.

We had 160 pilots that were eligible for bidding at the time of the announcement. That covered about 12 lines of flying with reserves for 21 airplanes. The ideal size for that size of fleet was about 240 pilots which we hit briefly in 2012/2013 when we had CLE, IAD/SYR and EWR open. The growth will continue for a long time to come. And even if start slowing upgrades and such - we go back to a year or year and a half upgrade? So what. Not the worst thing in the world.

I would be interested to know the break down , I am "onboarding" tomorrow and have a 3 Jan Indoc seat. I would really like IAD and prefer the 145, however I would just like to be a IAD.

You'll be able to hold iAd by time you finish ioe. They run a bid for every new hire class so you can just switch.
