What am I missing, and why would I end up going to the CRJ? I do understand CA CRJ is most junior, but I fail to understand what that has to do with the original question? Honestly, I only care about Envoy for the DFW base. I'm honestly only interested in my chance of getting DFW based, which the 175 seems best for. So, I guess, what are my chances of DEC being able to get awarded DEC as a new hire and also being able to hold DFW in that 175? Obviously there are no guarantees, but I'm wondering if that is a possibility.
The 175 seats are FO. If you qualify for a direct entry captain, your paperwork may read differently, but even if they ALLOW you to bid for the 175, as an FO, you will be displaced to Captain immediately, at the latest the next bid, which have been every three month, so before you finish training. As the most junior Captain in the company, you will be stuck with a CRJ, MAYBE a 145, in ORD because that is
all the most junior captain in the company can hold.
