Upgrade matters ofcourse, but it is not like I expect a quick upgrade, seniority is what it is, but do not want to sit right seat 10 years in an RJ when an average is 24-48 months or so. I do not want to sit reserve forever either, though I understand that is the deal.
If you want to go to envoy wait and interview in late Nov, early Dec. The 175 is going to be based out of DFW.
Current FOs cannot bid Jet to Jet so the 175 will go JR early next year. That would mean short reserve, home based for you. Seems to me that you could be the Sr guy in class. The guys in the E-175 now should upgrade in the next 6 months.
Envoy flying benefits are same as AA employees.
Good luck with your decision, we all know how hard it is looking for a regional to work.
