"... they can meter the flow of new hires from the Expessjet ERJ side now, and maintain just enough pilots to keep the ERJ staffed as long as they need it."
Zonda,
Well, the rumor I heard just doesn't seem to add up...unless UAL has a large backlog of those hired but awaiting a class date. That might allow a slow down in hiring to let training flow catch up (DL got their backlog down from many months to a few weeks). The "take" from XJT would necessarily be rather small(ish) numbers to avoid affecting XJT's ability to complete their contractual flying...would it not ?
