And to further stir the pot, a 9E sim instructor told me he observed training with a pair of new hires who would be starting upgrade training before making it to the LOE ride. Not sure about this, but he had no reason to make it up.
All this is happening because there are quite a few FOs at 9E who don't want to upgrade for various reasons-base, holding a line, equipment, days off, etc etc..
The company has no desire to do forced upgrades. Nobody knows hows long this will last, but once all the 900s have moved over and the XJT/ASA Atlanta pilot population is depleted, things should go back to "normal", whatever that looks like these days.

If they force the upgrade the forced captain can always bid back down to FO, and that might happen quickly if they force upgrades and then release seat locks to allow street captains. The company has no desire because they can't really enforce. If they tie a flow to captain position that might encourage a few but we've got too much growth here right now for anyone to be forced into anything for long.

Is Republic a good fit for him? Sounds like he needs a junior Atlanta base at all costs.

He never said EDV isn’t working out for him. He asked a valid question because someone junior to him got what he wanted but did not get (multiple someones, apparently). Do you have an answer to his question, or just snide comments to make?
Perhaps if you cannot post here without being a d!ck, you should consider stepping away from the keyboard for a few days. Be a part of the solution, not part of the problem.

Fine. Erase every mention of 900 and replace with ATL and erase 200 and replace with NY. Shocker, you cant get the domicile you want as a new hire. I hope he says that around the MSP pilots losing their base.
In short, he's complaining about the seniority process and doesn't understand he can be released from any and all seat locks as soon as the company elects to. Which won't be long.
Coming on the web board and warning us the xpressjet guys "won't like this" and his tone was my annoyance.

I can further snidely answer. The initial is not the award. If you contest the initial or final award you can email the crew planning dept right on the initial award. Following that, the union is the proper channel to figure out if you are owed something, and for many of us, that's the first call.
I was pretty busy beating back incorrect assumptions about releasing seat locks, so if there's more besides what you've brought up fine but I won't retype everything i did before swapping 900 for ATL and 200 for NYC.
Finally. ATL might go senior. *Shrug*

1. The Company may waive any or all equipment freezes on a uniform and non-discriminatory basis.
2. A Pilot who is involuntarily Displaced shall not be subject to a freeze.
3. A Pilot may bid and be awarded a change in Domicile at any time.
4. A Pilot subject to an equipment freeze will be released from such freeze to prevent the hiring of a Captain off the street.

Actually they do have a choice. This is from the contract. Section 24 G
1. The Company may waive any or all equipment freezes on a uniform and non-discriminatory basis.
2. A Pilot who is involuntarily Displaced shall not be subject to a freeze.
3. A Pilot may bid and be awarded a change in Domicile at any time.
4. A Pilot subject to an equipment freeze will be released from such freeze to prevent the hiring of a Captain off the street.

So now's a good time to talk to the union and verify if I am wrong. I'm more than happy to submit to their expertise on this matter. A matter that was just exercised on 1705.
