There was an email sent out yesterday by the company with a standing bid for about 40 - 50 ERJ captains. ALL but the erj FO's were held back. another words they awarded them just in the hopes that everyone would stop running for the door. There was no class date and no mention of when the class date would be. This still didn't take the upgrade past 2.5 years with that many awards on the ERJ. Another words it will likely take new guys over 3 years on the ERJ and 4 years on the CRJ

To top it all off mngm tried something I thought was really funny. They sent out a fake bid showing everyone when they would be able to hold ERJ CA! According to their bid everyone on property would hold Jet CA by next March. This is the most desperate attempt to refill the cool-aid jug I think I have seen! Do they really think they can forecast when those upgrades will take place. How do they know when ppl will retire / leave. This is an obvious attempt to stop the mad rush for the door, and a sorry attempt if you ask me.
