If your goal is to get back to DFW ASAP then go ATR SJU, or MIA. Hell, you might even get DFW ATR on Day 1 of ground school. There have been recent newhires who started as ORD EMJ and transferred to DFW EMJ by the time training was finished, but it is hard to say how many more spots on the DFW EMJ they will need to fill. DFW ATR should continue to have vacancies, due to pilots switching to the jet after 2-3 yrs on the prop.

For those who are already in training, or thinking about Eagle. This is the latest company Vacancy Bid that they released to us. The positions below are offered to the line pilots, then if they go unfilled there is a good chance you will see future newhires offered the slots.
A VACANCY BID IS OPEN EFF <11 AUG 2010¶

NFE, THE FIRST 5 OCE, THE FIRST 2 MCA, THE FIRST 3 MFA, THE¶
FIRST 4 SCA, AND THE FIRST 08 SFA.¶
The 2nd part where it says what positions will not be backfilled is especially important. For instance, they wont backfill the first 12 JFE, which means if 12 JFK EMJ FOs are awarded any other positions (like ORD EMJ FO, or a CA slot) then the company wont bring any new people into JFK EMJ FO to replace them. If a 13th JFK EMJ FO bids out, then they will bring in 1 person.
There are 9 CA positions open, but depending on backfills it may not result in any new CA upgrades, just transfers from CA to CA.

Yes, but look at that 2nd part of the bid and it shows they won't backfill the first 8 SFAs that leave. It doesn't mean they won't offer any newhires SFA, because their planning changes on a daily basis sometimes. Just less likely to have lots of SFA spots for newhires in the immediate future.
