Default Hiring/upgrades on the erj side

Just announced 48 new hires with classes starting 25 March running every 2 weeks. They also announced 40 upgrades. Great to see some movement again!

Good news all around. Hopefully this is the snowball forming.

Thiese are on the ERJ side finally, add that to the CRJ classes and things here are starting to have a slight glimmer. Hope all you ERJ guys come to Newark and push me up a little higher! Welcome aboard to those who have been treading water in the pool for a while.

Good news for the ERJ folks. Looks like the "no ERJ classes for the foreseeable future" turned out to be just no classes for a few months.

Yes, and CT's "no plans for CRJ position notice" turned into 20 upgrades in a matter of weeks. Meanwhile EFB has been imminent for 10 years. I have pretty much no use for management prognostications at this point. They really just move from one avoidable crisis to the next.

In any case this is great news! Hopefully this is the beginning of things breaking loose like in 2006/2007.

What was the whole reason for bringing that 175 to A-tech? There was big hoopla about it coming and then poof nothing. Didn't Comair also bring in the E-170/5 to CVG to showcase it to the employees.

I think it was just a tour that Embraer was doing -- going around to different regionals and showing off their airplane.
