CRJ Bases
 

I have looked a lot through the forum and cannot find info on bases on seniority for the CRJ. I'm interested in DC. Thanks for any info... just wondering about assignments out of class.. reserve.. line.. and upgrade

For DC you will get it on your very first bid and you’ll get a line the first time you use PBS there. It’s extremely short on FO’s.

That’s great news for me. In training now and 2 of us who live In MD bid for Dulles.

Come now please
 

To all FO's and FO's candidates. Come to IAD (aka Dulles airport). WE NEED YOUR HELP! SOS, SOS, SOS.....................

Seriously thinking about Mesa
 

The biggest factor about Mesa for me is home base. I live under an hour from IAD. Are they still short of FO's out of IAD? How quickly from submitting app to flying the line is it at Mesa? I've heard horror stories on this forum about people waiting months after ground school. Also, is it getting better at Mesa? They used to be the bottom of the barrel but from what I can see, pay and union contracts are getting better. I'm new at this part 121 thing and trying to do as much research as possible. Form what I can see on Flight Aware, the legs out of IAD don't seem to be that bad. Any insight would be very much appreciated.

The CRJ doesn’t have the same issues and delays as the Ejet. What other regionals are you looking at?

Right now IAD is probably the easiest base to get.
As for CRJ training, it’s 4 months from Indoc to IOE.

Mesa is great
 

Mesa is a great regional. Don't listen to people ***** and complain about life here and their QOL (quality of life issues). FO's at Mesa hold a line out of IOE. If you want to fly, and hopefully you do because why else be a pilot, you can get 100 hours at month no problems. The trips getting mundane. However, i would rather deal with the mundanes of flying then some desk job. APPLY and Call pilot recruiting. :)

Stay home. Commuting sucks.
