Seriously though, are those 9 USX planes going away anytime soon?

I'm hardly qualified to fly the 135!
I'm not exactly sure what the timeline is to complete extinction of our USX 145s, but they will be pulled off and replaced by 175s.

I was based in GSO right out of training. It is a great place as far as the people go. There are some really great people, and they are like a big family. In RIC and GSO, you'll be on reserve almost until you upgrade. I have to believe that the company will eventually close both of them. IND is mecca, and I'd be surprised if they ever close it. Out of the ones listed, I'd say choose SDF followed by IND. Both of these have lots of people, which equates to moving up quicker.

Those 9 145's have to cover the 9 damn bases they opened to feed USX flying. I don't think there's any plans for those 9 to go anywhere just yet. They would have to order more 175's and there hasn't even been a rumor about that yet. Enjoy LGA...
