If you're new to the 121 game, the fences mean that even though we will all be on 1 seniority list, CRJ pilots couldn't bid ERJ equipment/bases and ERJ pilots couldn't do the same for CRJ position until the "fence" has come down. It could go many ways, as in there is a company wide fence, one for the large RJ vs 50 seaters, etc. There are many variables involved, as if there was a mass bid and a ton of pilots changed equipment from ERJ to CRJ, this would incur significant training costs to the company, in addition to costs of pulling pilots off line for the training. The fence would allow stability for each the company and pilot group.
