You know, if we had one list, this wouldn't be a big deal and you could just big over to the ERJ for the upcoming Denver flying.
You know, just an idea
(Once I get back on property, let me know what I can do to help you guys to that end).

yep, bunch of SKW CRJ-700s loaded into IAH flying, and Chataquron EMB-170s loaded into EWR. And when the train gets back he gets the lovely new destinations of Cedar Rapids IA and Hobbs NM.

It's to be expected. Our 50 seaters (especially the XR) are designed for longer, thinner routes. Less frequency, but longer range with more payload than the CRJ-200 can handle in many cases. The XR can get into hot and high airports, and then shuttle 50 lucky contestants to the furtherest, worst positioned hubs in the country.

If it ain’t a Boeing, I’m not going. No choice.
<off topic> Don't know why I never noticed that you live in Ann Arbor before Jtrain. One of my best friends from college lives there. He's a DAL 767 FO based (as of Dec) in DTW. His wife is a professor at EMU. </off topic>

Personally I was hoping for Bangor flights over freaking Hobbs, New Mexico. talk about pulling a city out of your ass. Smisek must have a little play thin there or something man.

You probably didn't notice because I've moved once a year since I graduated college
We've been here about a year now, bought a house, yada yada. It's home for us (Emily grew up about 20 minutes from here, myself 2 hours north), and we plan on sticking around these parts.
If you ever end up at ARB/YIP/DTW/DET let me know, we're close to all of them.

Ya, you guys are also starting a couple of UAs new routes such as DEN-DAL/LBB/AMA, and IAD-SDF along with several new CO routes including IAH-PSP/GJT and the all exciting Hobbs, New Mexico. But interestingly, Skywest will be flying 2 daily CRJ-700s IAH-BFL which was announced as a new CO route.

I found who was operating what route by looking thru UA's reservations system at work, it's not online yet.

Yeah.
He's back in training right now actually.
Surprised really.
Guess he didn't make enough money selling himself out.

Not necroposting (I hope) but curious as to whether there have been any other rumors of late regarding the next SWA application window.

I've heard early in the new year, but that's not confirmed by official sources.

Friend of mine, a 9E CA, was hired at SWA and into the pool in 2008. He just got a call from SWA last month for a quick interview this month, went, got the word for a confirmed class date in January. He will put his notice in next month, and move onto SWA!

A US Airways engine mechanic told me the same thing. One of the baggage handlers from the midnight shift confirmed it.
"Here’s how the numbers break out:

320 openings in our East Coastbased

I'm a PHX Ramper, so take that maybe a step below a PIT based A/P, but that's what the memo says.
Thats awesome! That tool really thought he had the chops to make it as an actor.
