So the first two CRJ guys to volunteer got the slots.
In regards to your commute, it's worth mentioning that there's a rumor going around that Mesa will get an AA contract for Dallas. It seems legitimate. Who knows how long it might take or which plane they'll put there, though.
Thanks. I'm aiming for a Dec or Jan erj class so that would work out perfect. I'd like to finish my contract with my current company, get a 1,000 tpic, then make the jump...which should be around dec. The recruiter said they prefer 121 on the erj, but I've heard classes have a mix. Is that true? Also a dfw base would be the same commute as Iah for me, so I'd take that. Assuming it doesn't go super senior.
