Indeed! I might have been a little harsh with my previous post. I think they were in the middle of the website redesign when I last tried to update that. The CRJ junior bases seem to be ATL & IAD CRJ-200. That is where it looks like new-hires are going, plus a few spots in DTW. ATL CRJ-700 and DFW are relatively senior I believe. I'm not sure how the ERJ side seniority shook out after the new domiciles opened.
As far as which flee type a new-hire would get, in the past you would know which when offered a class. For a time they brought everyone in for basic indoc before aircraft assignment, but I heard that was backfiring and I'm not sure what the current practice is. Perhaps a more recent new-hire will chime in on that.
