Most of the old ACA birds went to Tuscon and sat on the ramp out there. A few have been stored in OKC. The dojets went mostly to Myrtle Beach.

About 1/2-2/3rds of the ACA CRJ fleet has been placed back into service. I know that ASA, Air Canada Jazz, Skywest, and several foreign carriers are flying them.

Not this month. The most junior FO out of the 10 total has 6 months in. I think a good number of FOs, myself included, are waiting to see what the trips will be like. Day trips and standups there will definately keep me in ORD, but if they start doing MSP overnights I"ll probably switch.

I'd switch just for the cookies

Word.

I am originally from ATW and would have moved to MKE in a heartbeat. If I weren't so close the upgrade at ZW I would apply at Skywest. Driving to work and flying around the Midwest would be great! At least that's what I thought would happen when I signed up at AWAC three years ago.....

I am curious as where else we will fly in the next 6 months for them? Also, how are they going to get crews in and out of KC? I read that we are doing MCI - PIT, as well as MKE - PIT in May. Anyone heard any news?
