Displacements are done. Current FOs cannot bid the E-175. Also about 3-4 Sr E-175 FOs got CA seat in the last bid, they never went to training.

Unless there's a displacement bid in the works (very unlikely), then if someone Proffer to Displace to the E-175 it gets seat locked. I don't think any FO close to upgrade wants to be seat locked, same goes for CAs waiting to flow. I think the 175 will go Jr in both seats.

 

You cannot preference bid jet to jet in the same seat - in example: the 175 is DFW only right now. You're an FO on the 175. Your girlfriend dumps you and you're out of the apartment and you want to move back to ORD where you are from.

You cannot bid ORD/FO/E145 if a vacancy bid opens for that. You're stuck in DFW/FO/175 until: A) A 175 base opens in ORD and you are able to get a bid award for that base, B) A vacancy bid opens in which you are able to upgrade to ORD equipment, or C) You are displaced and able to hold ORD equipment as a displacement preference.

The displacement into the 175 with our current situation was odd. There were FO's that bid the 175 as new equipment and there were FO's that bid it as a displacement pref. I think there were instances where a junior FO got the 175 ahead of a senior FO due to the way the displacement and pref bids are run, but someone with better knowledge of how that all shook out will have to explain it.

 

being unable to bid the 175 is just for current individuals on property is that correct?

will ORD be the 175 base or both?

what is out of DFW right now?
What are currently being awarded for new hires so on?

 

Will ORD be a 175 base? I doubt it. Republic operates some 40 175s out of ORD.

DFW currently is the 145 and soon to be 175. With the CRJs sticking around longer, will we see a DFW CRJ base? Dunno.

 

Ask cujo why they altered the flow. My sources are telling me that they have added those 238 guys with numbers to the flow list now. Can someone verify this?

So from 16yr to flow, it will jump to 25yrs plus.

Good Luck!

 

Does anyone have insight on when (and if) the 175 will be offered to new hires?

With the way out contract is written, where FO's cannot bid jet-to-jet, I would guess new-hires should have it offered to them by winter time. Could be sooner or could be later, it's hard to tell. But like I said, with the way our contract is written, the 175 will go to new-hires at some point.

 

Any updates to the training regime since the last post? (Sept)
How long, hotels used, double or single occupancy.
Indoc?, sims??
Home study?
Where is everybody being assigned? 145, 175, CRJ, DFW, ORD??
Looking for current info if anybody has it?? PM me if you would like.

 

Training is about two months. Currently the hotel used is the Holiday Inn in Bedford. Nice hotel but not much in the area. The hotel will drive you if you need to get somewhere (3 mile radius I think) Double occupancy for the first week of indoc. For the CRJ you are sent home for 10 days for CBTs. When you get back it is single occupancy. For the past few months it has been ORD E145 and CRJ. Rumors of E175 classes going to new hires this month or next. They will need to eventually hire into the 175 since it currently won't go to guys on property. The classes could be split though to include the CRJ since envoy plans on not sending any to PSA this year. Right now the 175 is only DFW but there are rumors of an Ord base. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

 

For the past year its been ORD E145, CRJ. However with the new vacancy that just came out it looks like people will have the option out of training to go to dallas E145.
