I hear you. The problem with that 3 month upgrade is that it isn't based on movement and could evaporate just as quickly as it materialized.
When you look at the fact that:
1. AW is closing all current bases and that is sure to create a strong incentive for some current pilots to move along
2. The utilization of the current aircraft is expected to increase dramatically
3. AW is offering literally the highest combined bonus/pay of any regional
4. It appears classes are filling based on info just posted to this thread
5. CPP is about to begin
6. From what I have seen from candid former crew member discussions, my interactions with the the interview team, etc. this seems like a great company from a cultural perspective
...I think there's a strong, well educated argument to be made for this being THE regional to get hired at currently.
Of course everything in this industry is a crapshoot and you never know if you made the right decision until it's too late.
