Plus 10 minus how many?

Plus 10 minus how many?

Actually, it says plus 5. The extra 5 are purchase rights not firm orders. And even if CHR were to acquire additional CRJ900's, they may not necessarily be added to the AC CPA. They could be leased out anywhere in the world. CHR is setting itself up as a global leasing company.

Current CRJ200 fleet is 13. Minus 3 in 2017.

Then why did they just hire an additional 40 FA's?

I'm fairly certain I also saw that they were reconfiguring the 705's more inline with the 900's and the 74 seat Q's into 78 seat...

The loads are good out west

Then why did they just hire an additional 40 FA's?

Among other reasons, the aircraft joining the fleet require 2 FA's. Simple math of the addition and subtraction of the various types will show a required increase in Inflight numbers.

Regardless.....Hiring = Good, More Airplanes of any type = Good
