There is NO guarantee. United can award them to whomever they choose.

Or CRJ’s. A majority of pilots on the seniority list are already typed on the 145. It would be easier to transition CRJ pilots to the other fleet. It was stated by Greg/Terry the only reason we went with the CRJ200 was the zero spool up time. But who knows. See you in ORD next week after I finish requal from my medical leave.

Reading comprehension is short with you. Only a small portion of the pilot group is qualified on the CRJ; a greater majority is in the ERJ. We only spooled up the CRJ200 due to low training time but, if they continue to leave....

I can’t believe I responded to an obvious troll

Some of the XE line bidding pilots mentioned are probably CRJ pilots in ORD who are in the XE system. Many are leaving.

Frankly, I think any ERJ pilot who commutes and meets the requirements should give it serious consideration unless close to moving over to UAL via the CPP. Especially with the ability to use employment leave (albeit only to the end of IOE), there is nothing to lose.

Out of curiosity, why would the employment leave only be good to the end of IOE?
