gilbertmchris,

I've just converted onto the Embraer and I have to say it makes for an easier operating experience, it's certainly more akin to operating an Airbus or Boeing than how we flew the RJs, although the yoke takes some getting used to! I've heard rumours that we're purchasing options on 3 more 190's and/or replacing the 170's with 190's but as anyone with CF will know these are coming from the usual suspects Does anyone have anything more concrete?

DB-757 your the man with the info! (you can tell me, I was on your course! :P)

*EDIT*
To actually answer your question, my opinion is we are chronically short of Captains, and if the middle east starts recruiting bigtime there may well be an exodus, although whether management see it that way is another issue, personally I think if we increase our fleet size I believe we will see recruitment into LHS and POSSIBLY 2 or 3 RHS posistions and down the back but who actually knows?? Its always a mystery at BACF...
