That's the tricky thing for you guys and gals that would like to either fly the EMB or want the IAH base. We have a ORD base in the CRJ. According to the contract you cannot bid over to another aircraft unless you upgrade or there is a base closure displacement. So you will be fenced on the CRJ. But I would get in as fast as possible and get the seniority. Training cost a lot of money and I'm sure Mesa will try to uphold the contract, unless their is a visible shortage of new hires.
