This is what the regionals do. They get people in the door with the promise of a quick upgrade, because they know once the upgrades slowdown (and I believe that's what is happening here), most people will stay because they don't have any better alternatives and don't want to start over.

We are not fat on Captains on the CRJ at all. I would bet money they simply looked at the CLT CAs current bids and someone said "oh wow those 7 guys will go to PHX and those guys will go to DFW!!! Let's see if they go voluntarily and push back this displacement another month!!!"
Same old Mesa tactics--and I don't blame them at all for it--they're just trying to save themselves as much money as possible.

As it stands now, they said they'll run the standing bid on or after the deadline of 11:59pm on the 28th. Will it be announced by October 31? Lots of living arrangements need one month's notice or you're on the hook another month...

FYI for anyone considering DFW, look at the trips. Super low credit = min days off for all. IAD is the place to be unless you can bid the 175 or live in base.

i think it will be longer than sooner before everything is said and done.
as for the next upgrade class, I think everyone is going to be surprised by how many newer guys get the upgrade. I bet there will be guys from the 7/13 classes on this next upgrade slot.
