Basically, how often does ORD CRJ open up and what is the most jr DOH for ORD CRJ? Thanks for the info! I'm just happy to be here period, but want to be educated.
Eagle doesnt allow FOs to transfer from the ERJ to CRJ. If you can't get the CRJ initially (either ORD or LGA) then go with the ATR for a year and transfer to the CRJ when the seatlock expires.
If you get LGA CRJ then you will be able to transfer to ORD CRJ when a vacancy opens. It is hard to say how long until that happens, could be 1 month, or 1 year.
Now forget everything I typed above, because in the event of a Displacement Bid you can get kicked out of say LGA ERJ and put in a Displacement Preference for ORD CRJ and be awarded it. When you get displaced from your equip/base status then you can go to anything your seniority can hold. Displacements tend to be rare, so dont hold your breath for one.
4/26/10 is current junior ORD FO CRJ (OFC) but there are some pilots who were hired LGA FO CRJ (NFC) 6/21/10 and were recently awarded a transfer to OFC. The Flow Plan is posted on jetnet and shows dates for transfers/training/upgrades/etc so it looks like those guys from 6/21/10 will actually start flying ORD in December.
