You're looking at an awfully small sample size. If you look back to 2012 the ERJ split is pretty much 50/50.

Separations since January 2012:
ERJ CA: 65 (2012) + 15 (2013) = 80
ERJ FO: 71 (2012) + 3 (2013) = 74

CRJ CA: 18 (2012) + 13 (2013)= 31
CRJ FO: 41 (2012) + 5 (2013)= 46

The CRJ side separations were heavily slanted toward FOs (and seemingly more from the junior end) in 2012. Hopefully the early 2013 correction continues and many more pilots find opportunities at better employers.

Do we still have that many people over there? I thought a lot of those guys were back already.

Bring it on, hope you're right!!! Most of the Vietnam guys are back, but more are coming. They already have these guys in their numbers I'm sure. I doubt they expected to see people start leaving so early this year since the big D said they weren't hiring till late this year/early next... I think that's all they listen to in terms of planning ahead.
Hoping we see a decent number of upgrades. I'll also be curious to see if they reduce ATL700 in favor of adding to DTW700

Things change around here in a heartbeat. This is one one volatile period for the ages in the regional industry.
CT did write that early in the month, but if you went to him directly he made it clear that was not the case. When I reached out after that Jetstream, it was clarified that "no plans for a CRJ Pos Notice" actually meant - "expect a vacancy in the next few weeks". I imagine it's much easier to field calls when you predict gloom while planning for sunshine.

FWIW I made a similar follow up with CT and was told that a position notice for attrition & summer staffing was being pushed until "later in the quarter". Being the pessimist that this place has made me I assumed he was just telling me what I wanted to hear.

Thanks. I am headed to Spirit. I am definitely going to miss the guys/gals at XJT, the ERJ, and being the F/O rep for the past 5.5 years but it's time to go . Spirits growth, pay & contract will make up for all that 10 fold

That's funny, have to wonder if they just if they just feed bad info for kicks.

CT was in the ATL crew lounge today with the Chief pilot and a couple if other people fielding questions from the line pilots. I didn't speak with them because I had a trip, but it could be related.

Evidently that's just due to the survey saying they want to see managers pretty faces more often
