7 IAD ERJ CA & 2 IAD ERJ (NH) FO openings as of today.

If you are a prospective applicant and waiting solely for the ERJ, you are making a mistake by bypassing all of the seniority. My Jan class already has approx. 60 people junior to them on the seniority list. With a 200-large pilot group, you do the math on what you're passing up...

1 from the January class has upgraded already and more could have if they wanted to.

From what I read in the Chief Pilot email, it's 5 new hire FO vacancies for May 2nd class & 2 vacancies for FOs currently on property.

You're correct. I misread it.

Question. You go to United based off your cpp interview date if you pass. Not your senority number at Commute from what I'm reading, but only United has the list? How do you know where you are in line then? If the answer was posed and I missed it I'm sorry in advance.

HAAANG ON a minute. WHAT? Can anyone explain this a little bit more?

There are 200 something pilots in the airline, how can you all the sudden have 60 people in front of you? How is your seniority affected by the fleet you fly?

Sorry if this was addressed earlier and I missed it. Thanks!

You have the wrong idea. Originally 180 or so in C5. Then they hired 20 a month. If youre in january class you gave 60 behind you. All hired within months of course.

Remember, the company can restrict the number of CA swaps to the ERJ to 2, as well. Additionally, I hope whoever is junior on this is willing to accept the fact of commuting to ORD until they can get a domicile trade.

How is that? Aren't all the ERJ's being domiciled out of IAD now/initially? What commute to ORD?

For now, but if you are junior in IAD when ORD opens, you will more than likely get sent there if it becomes the junior base. It depends on how the company wants to deal with that issue, either slowly hire into ORD or displace individuals. My guess is a combination of both, so bid what you can hold. It is rumored to open 4th quarter 2016, so it will be a bit.
