My guess is most of the new hires are going to get kicked out of the CRJ/LGA by mid-2011.

I know that is the hope of most of the guys already there, but it remains to be seen. You can't make too many choices in the airlines based on what might happen. Everything is always in flux.

Being away from your family for a 2nd long term in one year is going to suck if I am right.

There are roughly 30 NFCs in the system who are on the line or in training. IF all 22 CRJs do come to NYC then they will need 110 CRJ FOs. That leaves room for about 80 slots. Currently, we have 135 (56 JFK and 79 LGA) FOs on the ERJ in NYC.
Its anyone's guess how many of those guys or others in the system will want to bid LGA CRJ FO slots. My guess is when all is said and done there wont be a massive influx to those slots, even with a displacement and/or if the company allows any ERJ FO to bid the CRJs. Yes, a few of the most junior newhires into the CRJ might get bumped out, but I am sure there are some who would prefer to get bumped out and go to some different equip/base.

But you should know what is going to happen. Almost all the flying out of LGA is going to be CRJ by March of next year (LGA is going to be down to 15-20 EMB flights a day). At some point the company will run a displacement bid for the LGA EMB guys. A few might go to JFK but the rest are bid the CRJ LGA. IF they wanted out of LGA they could have already bid for ORD or DFW.

Two good arguments above. I know what is going on with the union grievance. No one knows where that is going to go, nor when. I'll cross the Bridge of Doom when I reach it.
If I go CRJ LGA, and then get displaced out of base later on I'll simply bid into a different aircraft which would allow the possibility of remaining in NYC.
NYC is still relatively junior, and I can't believe that everyone is going to want to pour into NY just like that.
ERJ is always the aircraft of choice the way you hear it, but now guys on the ERJ feel like they are getting a raw deal, so who is to say what is better or worse.
I'll make my choices and take my chances.

This would also prompt some movement where I need it.
When I was recalled I apparently had the choice to go to the CRJ. It was enticing. All my buddies with only 2 yrs of seniority were going to hold commutable lines. I had to tell myself it was only going to be short lived. I picked the EMB, sit about 3 or 4 from the bottom, commute in the night before on my day off and often get stuck at work into my days off...but the bright side?
No long term in the foreseeable future!

Can anyone tell me what software or phones with Verizon will run Eagle's crew scheduling program (sorry, I'm not familiar yet)? Looking to get a new phone/plan in the next couple days and want to set myself up with something I can use in the future. Thanks!
