Meh. Amazon is a horrible employer.

Be that as it may their purchase Wong necessarily affect operations but by buying a stake it could signal growth

Including yourself then? Won't be good for your chances to fly "Lots" and get out ASAP now would it? Bright side is when you're sitting endless reserve due to the loads of parked RJs, you can mainline Jumpseat on more of your reserve days for all those LORs you're getting.
Cheer up!

Did you see anything posted on numbers of deliverys by month? Just trying to get a feel for when I'd possibly upgrade on the 175 rather than going back to the CRJ.

Thanks for posting that... Still looks like it's better to take the CRJ.

I've talked to enough FOs on the 175 that are putting out apps other places because they are fed up with the empty promises.
