My hope is that none of us are growing.
To say who is growing and who is shrinking is hard to say. One would have to see into the future to make this prediction.
Why does growth matter? Are you equating growth to upgrade time?
Growth is tied to upgrading, but attrition is also tied to upgrade time.

I don't think there is data like this out there in one place. The regional scene is ever changing. Who's growing today may be shrinking tomorrow and vice-versa. Just look at Compass: growing like crazy and suddenly shrinking. There's no airline that is immune to this unpredictable instability. That's why everyone wants to get out asap to the majors.
Some say AA is trying to maintain its regional feed as long as possible. Also it looks like they are trying to bring some of that flying back in house. This would lead me to think that the WOs would grow in the near future. But let me look in my crystal ball again to make sure.

Didn't you guys lose like 40 E145s though during bankruptcy? I get it, the plane was an outlier of the fleet but I'd imagine those pilots had to go somewhere so I wouldn't say there is much growth just yet. Things seems to be returning to normal for you guys and I'm glad it is. (Even though we are donating 6 of those jets to you guys. 
)
Fact of the matter is a regional that is growing like crazy may be doing the opposite a year later.

We were peoples last resort about a year ago, this is actually positive news that our fleet isn't shrinking any further. My guess is by the time we get the additional 26 airframes we will be understaffed again.

Your pay bump was a good incentive to get people in the door. It also helped spur other airlines to raise wages.
