Ya, but on the bright side... They are serious short staffed on the CRJ in LGA and you shouldn't have any problems getting a slot.

I think you mean NFC instead of LFC. They use N for LGA and L for LAX. No CRJs in LAX.... yet!!

That's a bit of good news. Have pretty much every class had some CRJ spots open?

As I am going through my mid life crisis I figure I will have first, or close to first pick.

Second thing I am not sure about, and maybe some of you guys on the inside can help. I have been told time and time again by some of my Eagle buddies, as well as reading it on forums, that you want the aircraft with the largest fleet (i.e. EMB), as this will allow a better QOL due to more flexibility.

However, if it was up to

CRJ = No crash-pad, No transportation concerns to Airport, Be near family

or

EMB = Larger fleet, Easier to trip trade, Pick up open, etc.

Which wins out?

To me having to live in a crash-pad would effect QOL as well. One way or another I am commuting, so that factors out.

What do you think?

Thanks

Just playing devils advocate here but once this temporary movement is through with the new CRJs, movement will halt again and upgrades will be just as long as before. .

There is no steady movement at Eagle, just something I would consider before signing up.

Totally agree, but my 245 bucks a week (before taxes) on unemployment from being furloughed isn't going to cut it. Until I find something else, this is going to have to do.
