Saw one FO that held a CA upgrade on the 145 but was awarded ER7 CA so they won't go to the 145 upgrade now.
I know they came from the CRJ and can't have more than a few hundred on the 145 before they do 7 upgrade.
That's a steeper hill, but not as steep as the one that is going from 145 FO to ER7 CA...maybe they have prior CA time...
More power to ya and best wishes, but I'd be hesitant about changing seats AND airplanes.

The company announced 30 open positions for CA then awarded 85!!
- sign of more planes? Why do we now have 225 ER7 CAs? 225/5= 45. That’s right, with this bid we are now preparing to staff 20 additional airframes. This is basically the big announcement!!
- no backfill was awarded with this bid. The company is now in the position of having to put out a 19-06 bid ASAP. 19-05 created around 80 CA vacancies. Combined with the vacancies due to attrition there should be well over 100 ERJ CA vacancies.
- with this many openings, the next CA awards will drop very close to the 18 month/1000 hr mark.
- while your buddies are still on reserve at SKW or END, you will be close to CA upgrade at XJT!!

Which makes some wonder why the Expressjet Union is mailing out postcards to prospective pilots telling them not to come?
Wouldn’t there be strong chance of United taking their additional E-175s and awarding them to another carrier who can get pilots like SKYW or MESA or RJET??????
This action occurring at the same time they meet with XJT management. Then they tell the membership that they’re cautiously optimistic that things will work out?????
