Yep. Twelve 900's would be a great thing for XJT.

Just remember, until you are sitting in the plane pushing back from the gate it's just a rumor. Reason I say this is because these planes are supposed to leave us in January and we have not had a displacement posted for them yet. I still believe they are leaving us but figured I would post it for you guys. If that displacement doesn't come soon ill start to wonder.

Haven't been any classes for a while, and no word yet on new ERJ classes. ORD has had the worst odds with the previous few classes - If I recall correctly they went everywhere but ORD.

They won't post the displacement for the -900s until after the first of the year. I believe the draw down is supposed to be from January to April so they will have time to do at least two different displacements. If they do it the way they did the Colgan draw down all of the ATL -900 pilots will be paid while waiting for their class dates.

Nope. Don't hold your breathe. CRJ DTW is as close as you will get.

Yes very good chance. Erj Ground school instructors were furloughed back to the line for the summer and were just recalled back to Houston training center. I would expect December or January for classes and upgrades. Nothing definitive but very probable.

I would say ERJ classes are completely dependent on if/when United takes a bunch of our guys when off the street hires begin in November.

Displacements require 60 days

Would you like to make a small bet? I say the odds are less than 1%.
