My personal assumption is that CLE will continue to be junior, MCI and IAD seem like they will be also. DEN looks like it will be pretty senior from the start along with IAH and ORD. EWR probably end up in the lower middle of the pack, but these are just my assumptions.

Even though IAH was senior, 2 from the first new hire class got assigned there along with 7 to ORD, so you never know what the all powerful crew planners have in store.

Perhaps to say money on overnights. An additional benefit is having reserves in place at locations where schedules used to fall apart due to the company's inability to reassign people once they were out of IAH/EWR/CLE. Now they have reserves and or crew trackers to modify schedules once things fall apart.

Looks like mostly draw downs in other bases. Continued ERJ hiring through the end of the year though

I live in DEN and am thinking about trying to get on with ExpressJet in hopes of the new DEN domicile.

I really would love to make the jump to XJet if I could hold DEN, but not interested in commuting. I really would appreciate any input or guesses as to how junior or senior DEN will be, and if there is any chance a new hire could hold it? Thanks

It seems that most here think it will be very senior and you wouldn't be able to hold it out of training.

That said, MCI would probably be an easy commute.

The good news is that if you're a 1900 CA in DEN any FO position you take at other regionals won't involve a pay cut.

Incorrect. First year pay cut, second year pay raise.

I've been here 2 years, I', wondering if I will be able to hold DEN?

Ah well, figured it was close, hence the smiley.

Believe me, if it were that close I would have bolted long ago.

I hear ya. That said, I'd be very interested to see what a Junior XJT FO credits every month compared to a GLA guy, and then how many days each has to work to accomplish that.
