Scope relief was achieved with the Q400 retirements and the Skywest 700s coming offline. Plus if United adds the new 100 seat jets like they are talking about, they can add up to 70 more 76 seaters....

These people would be in the loop if changes were taking place in the next 6 months.

I'm honestly blown away you think any of those are a good source of information.

You might ask, Why aren't they?

Shorts answer would be "Republic".

Personally I'd listen to the Director of Inflight first.

I'm sure you have a better source I'm just relaying information. Things can change at the drop of a dime. I asked questions and I got answers. Whether you believe it or not, want it to happen or not is your choice. Things can change may or may not happen. It's just info that's all.

Just heard from a buddy of mine that we lost the DoubleTree hotel in HOU and are now at a LaQuinta.

Maintenance is a poor source of rumors regarding crew/aircraft basing. So are flight attendants. For example, we routinely do EJet service checks on RON aircraft in OKC. Does that mean OKC is going to become an EJet pilot base? No way no how! Are pilots going to be based in Tucson? Nope. What is significant and important to maintenance often has nothing to do with pilot/crew basing.

FAs also keep spreading insane rumors, but we have to keep in mind they can be dual-qualled and contractually cross-utilized on CRJs & EJets (so can mechanics afaik). What they hear from their managers has zero to do with flight ops--zilch.

So basically, anything an FA or mechanic or MOC source has told you about where EJet pilots could be based is very likely confused extrapolation.
