Default Got the CRJ, not what I wanted

Hello, so I was expecting to get something else since I know the CRJ is slowing going to PSA. What is my reserve time? What do you guys think? Not the happiest at the moment.

Could be worse my friend. You could be forced to the left seat in LGA and forever junior and enjoy the line as a junior captain who gets no union protection. What’s a line like??? Forced upgrade guys will be lucky to get more then 2 days off in a row.. a line is a pipe dream for at least the next year or two for us.

Keep the blue side up man, enjoy the airplane and the ORD crew room!

Sniffs sniffs. Wipes away a tear.

I was in a similar/ worse situation. I was In the second to last new hire class ever for the ATR’s. It’s not great being on a dieing fleet but you should have known that was a possibility so only One to be unhappy with is yourself. Suck it up and deal with it for a year or go to a different airline.

But at least you got to stand by the model 175 at the schoolhouse and take a picture for facebook in your AA polo with your AA lanyard. Doesn't that make you feel special enough?

You’re not going to find any sympathy. You got a big check to go to the CRJ. The vast majority of the people before you got nothing. Just embrace training, prepare for the time when you get displaced, and have your displacement bid in so that you hopefully get the aircraft and base that you want when it happens.

I’m sorry you are not happy in the aircraft. I am a CRJ driver it’s not bad at all. You will be on reserve for ever. You will be the bottom of the bottom for ever. Your life will be missarable. You will get to know crew scheduling well and you will hate them and they hate you. You’re going to be sitting standby for everyday your on duty. Good luck. They sell tear whipping napkins at the end of terminal Z. Good luck and welcome to Envoy.

Were you a high value aviator? Either way, not anymore because you’re signed

I'd be thrilled to get the CRJ because of what I've been led to believe about Envoy's displacement rules. That, and they'll never have CRJs in LGA.
