Yes, do I have to refill out the captain qualification worksheet? I'm a downgrade. I will verify with standing bids tomorrow but maybe permfo can help me out.

Thanks, been holding out upgrade for a while and want to make sure I don't mess this up with a formality. Anyway, I think they should allow a one time bid over for the folks that live close to IAH. It wouldn't bother me to get awarded a few months later. I have heard that the commute out of IAH to any major city is a nightmare. Any XJ or Skywest folks that glance on this thread have problems?

What makes IAH commuting so bad?

This is true. But for the guy asking about IAH. Depends where you're coming from.

But as far as commuting goes I used to commute to IAH from CLT and it was pretty easy 10ish flights a day between US and United and loads weren't that bad. Rarely sat up front. Usually 737 for US but I'm sure it'll transition to a bus at some point if it hasn't already, and an array of RJs for united (Skywest, and express jet)

I commute DFW to CLT right now its a breeze. Usually in first class. But I have heard IAH-DFW IAH-PHX is a tough commute with alot of mainline guys going back and forth. I know DFW-PHX is a pain in the ass. Heard DFW- IAH is the same. Maybe Beater with 30+ MPG time. The Rubi with 35's just isn't going to cut it.

Iah-phx sucks. I got stuck the last three times I tried it.

I am trying to figure out how IAH will be a senior FO base if Mesa hires into equipment you cannot transition from till upgrade. I know I am not taking something into consideration but can someone explain why it would be senior?

Thanks again guys for fielding my stupid questions.;):)
