Alright, like the guy just said above they just now started to hired DEC into the CRJ. I think he is right in that you wouldn't have a seat lock but I'd ask that specific question before showing up. With that said let's say you get the 145 LGA you would likely be on reserve for a three months to three years. And it's likely going to be on the extreme of that range. It all depends on how many more DECs they hire. If they hire 50-75 more after you onto the 145 then you are likely to hold a line. If not then it's going to be a tough ride. I really don't know.
