Just keep in mind, if you get CRJ, you'll be seat locked into that aircraft until you either upgrade or get displaced, so if you get it, be prepared to be stuck in ORD for a while. CRJs are on their way out, so displacements will be happening eventually, but I'd guess you'll upgrade before that happens. If you want NY, you need to bid the 145, as that's the only type we have there.. If you manage to avoid the CRJ, you'll have no problem getting LGA ERJ. Unfortunately, you are pretty young, so you may not have much of a choice :/

Got it, makes sense. I'm not picky about the type of airplane I end up in as long as it has enough wings, wheels, and engines to move around safely. Where I'm based is more important to me than the equipment type so I'll keep my fingers crossed. Thanks again!

While I'll agree that Ordinary is a grumpy ol' codger, you have no effing clue dude. You lucked out and got in at a good spot at a good time. I'll leave it at that. You have no idea what other guys are dealing with in other statuses. You new dudes have no idea how good you have it.
"May be different now and I'm not familiar with other aircraft or bases."
Where did I lose you? I used to respect your input and opinion here but seriously disappointed in your statement. Thought you were above this kind of attitude.

How old is too old?
I can achieve ATP 1500 at age 50...is that too old to start a 2nd career as an RJ guy and be able to eventually flow thru to AA? Would AA still hire a 55 y/o coming out of Envoy? Worst case, how likely is it to be passed over by AA due to my age and play out the string as an Envoy CA until 65?
On the "Glass Half Full" side...is it good to be an old dude for base/equipment selection?

The long and short of it is your flow will be at 58ish. Seven years at AA is what you are looking at. But your QOL isn't going to be very good!!
