There is a lot of movement. They plan to ramp the CRJ class size from 50 to 70 at 2 classes/month.

My thoughts are with the CPZ gang. I hate for bad things to happen to fellow pilots and I hope there is a silver lining in the news Delta released today.

Congrats. After reading your initial post and your journey maybe you can recap the steps you took? And how you became instrument proficient to the level necessary for 121. I know many of us would benefit from your posting!

In retrospect, it’s hard to believe that less than a year ago I was busting hump to make the transition. And now I’m 250 hours into being a CRJ FO. Life is good! But what I’m most thankful for is that I drive 2 hours to work and I only spent half a month on reserve in my preferred base (KFAT) before getting a line. I never had to fly-commute to work. We’ll see if that still holds true when I ready to upgrade.
