The most junior E190 captain awarded on the latest bid was hired in July 2017.
I start in the Aug 7 class. Will someone please explain the DCA/UDC thing. I think I read something like UDC=KDCA and DCA=KIAD or something weird like that.

Why do you say the say the 190 is a better schedule? Do you mean for someone that lives nearby or even for commuters?
