ill also say that trying to avoid rsv is not belittling others that where on rsv for many years.. I think this forum is somehow trying to make that correlation but thats false. the reality is if the regional s are looking for pilots there shouldn't be any rsv or certainly not down the rabbit hole goes my seniority forever as click click is saying. Im thinking that other regionals wont have this massive influx of the more senior pilot group coming over and for instance republic that has now sorted its contract at 40$ an hour plus a 7500 $ may attract a new group hence no rsv on that side.
seems logical to me
First of all, you will not see a ton of FOs come over to the ERJ. The transition incurs a seat lock and most of the senior FOs will not postpone their chance at upgrade. Second, most guys transitioning will do so into a base other than ORD. You will remain a line holder there. Third, having reserves is a good thing for everyone. You'll understand when you try and drop a trip. To think that no reserves is a good thing is just complete ignorance.
If you really believe that RAH would be a good move for you, by all means make the jump. It appears you have not educated yourself about the ins and outs of the industry. I suggest you do so.
