They’re just double checking that you’ll be a good fit. Something like 95% of people make it through the captain’s review board. Took me about a month because my previous employers took forever to send over the PRIA. Call every Friday and ask.

Yes, there is a 2 year equipment lock. NCE can bid different bases, but OCC can’t bid anything else. I’m sure the company was having trouble actually getting OCCs to stay since a displacement allows bidding for other aircraft. New hire DECs are officially “bidding” the first day for that status, so they will be locked for 2 years (or until displaced once the CRJs leave).

RAP Start Time
I know this has been said before, but I really hope that the union addresses how RAPs are not assigned until 5p. It kills me that we have to leave on a day off to get to base in the off chance that we get RAP1, S1, or an early start sequence.
I have no problem starting early on day 1, but hate how just as likely as an early start; we could get a commutable late start sequence and not have to leave a day early. I would love to bid for my RAP for the whole month during the bidding window.
I have reached out to my reps, but I hope posting here could get some traction and more people asking showing this is important to the pilot group.

This is something that needs to be done. No day 1 starts before 10 am.

Would be nice if we could just match mainline reserve system and streamline our operation. I mean If they can do PBS, long call, short Call, etc., with 15,000 Pilots we can do it with 2,900 Pilots.
Can’t wait for the gutting, overhaul, and improvement of our pre & post bankruptcy systems and mindsets. The flow should help brain drain resisting mindsets.
