...not sure why people believe this or continue to hold out in hopes of getting the 175. when half of the fleet is transferred to ORD in september, there will be a displacement bid and guess what, new hires/jr guys will be displaced and will most likely end up on the crj or 145. stop wasting time and get that seniority locked in.

Which frames are currently at ORD, 145 and CRJ? And is the 175 moving to ORD in Sept?

Even if half of the 175s move to ORD, there will be plenty of CAs and FOs that will take a base transfer to ORD and forgo any displacements out of the 175.

They will not run a displacement unless they absolutely have to...if I had to bet, I would bet on an ORD 175 base being opened and more 175 options being executed (or taken from other carriers, I can't remember how many options we can take due to scope currently) before I would bet on a DFW displacement. That would be recruiting suicide for this place.

OK, correct me if I am wrong, but has there been any official notification that the 175 would move to ORD? Half the fleet, what would pick up all the lost flying out of DFW?

I am not saying that it won't end up there eventually, but September is a non-starter for me as we don't have the crews or the aircraft to send half the fleet there.

As for your displacement idea, no way. It would slam the door shut on recruitment as word would spread like wildfire that they are doing it.

I don't see your scenario working out, at least not in the time frame you are saying. I could be wrong however, if I did somehow miss this news.

Ok you have two things going on here that need to be separated. First you think the 175 will be in ORD in September. Second you say there is going to be a displacement.

I'm not in the know on this whole what bases are opening and what equipment is moving where. So let's say the 175 goes to ORD in September. Soon their will be a vacancy sent out and people will bid it and get awarded their CA positions. I don't see how you get a displacement out of this. The only displacement that is going to happen is when the CRJ leaves.

The training center wouldn't be able to keep up with equipment changes of a displacement. That was part of the most recent LOA to incentivize base transfers with 10 hrs override.

With sooooo may new instructors at the training center, no wonder why its hard to keep up. My check airman had a hard time using the sim.:rolleyes:

He probably couldn't get around in there due to your inflated ego.

Nailed it!:eek::D
