It's all of the above for me. Thanks for the advice guys it really helps. Based on the timing of my current class date and what's been said here I believe I will shut my mouth now. If there is a high probability the June and later classes will go to the Embraer that is good enough for me. It is all about the IAH base nothing more any relative seniority advantage would just be icing on the cake. I appreciate all the input and if anyone has more information on the breakdown of future classes please share. Thanks!
