It was more of a deal OO wanted to get out of the old ASA air minkong aircraft, that they got stuck with.. So they talked DL into 9 -E175’s to take those off and also lease 5 to Air Canada. 12.5 years old if your wondering...

Thanks for the information. I didn’t know that they were giving them that many

How many additional pilots would be required for 29 airplanes? How many of those would be additional captain slots?

Mitsubishi still has 109 outstanding CRJ orders.

I have no ear on this kind of info. It can be deduced by taking the number of pilots now divided by total airframes. Apply that to an additional 29 for a ballpark.

The latest number floating around has been about 400 total pilots. Typical staffing is about 12 crews per airplane roughly.

12 pilots, not crews.

I'm coming up with 13 pilots per aircraft. That seems like a high number that the company might want to be less. Anyway, 13 per aircraft multiplied by 29 is 377 additional pilots. Add in attrition of 30 a month or more, and you are talking about hiring 600 pilots over a nine month period, or whatever the time frame for accepting the new aircraft is. That will be a tall task. 60+ new hires a month and large upgrade classes on top of that. Thats a whole lotta training going on.
