This is your best bet to fly. But like I said in another thread, things change with ERJ seniority all the time. A year ago ORD was the most senior base at 7 months wait. The rest were much less. That was when our new planes were doing out west along with the new hire classes.
Exactly correct. I never flew the entire month of May when I was out there. That is where SKYW is stacking bodies. So that is where you will go.
A few months before that guys were hiring right into SFO. I would of preferred that but, as they say “that’s the way the cookie crumbles.”
The only thing that won’t change is for at least a year or so, everyone’s experience will be different from class to class.
