Go back to making the industry worse for everyone. You're better at that than trolling.

Don't you have a strike to prepare for?

I saw on ExpressJet's Facebook page that they're doing 40 upgrades/month. Any truth to this?

They want to upgrade 20/20 CRJ/ERJ pilots a month, but they need to hire in pilots to back-fill the FO spots before upgrading.

Yes! A CRJ position notice just came out with 10 -700 upgrades! (Also 10 -200 displacements, but you didn't see that).

Now lets be honest, how many of the last position notices showed the same thing, but yet still had upgrades with them?

The last couple of PNs came with a guarantee of no -200 displacements. Notice that GW is awfully quiet today.

The position notice did post after normal hours on a Friday, or perhaps he is tired of making the same disclaimer. In any case I'm pretty sure they're just trying to avoid backfilling ATL 200 and intend to have several upgrades. Not sure if this notice and the ERJ one will equal the 40 upgrades per month BS claims we're doing, but I guess we'll see.
