Just for your info we just awarded a CRJ and EMB upgrade class. The seniority is as follows.

-> CRJ upgrade class most JR pilot has a hire date of 05/26/05..........(FO -> CA)
-> CRJ transition class most JR pilot has a hire date of 10/01/07........(FO EMB -> FO CRJ)
-> EMB upgrade class most JR pilot has a hire date of 07/7/05...........(FO -> CA)

I have it from the grapevine that we will be running a new hire / upgrade class for the EMB and a transition / upgrade class for the RJ every month starting in January. The numbers I’ve heard vary but expect 10-20 new hires per month.

Good luck all.
