Thanks again guys for fielding my stupid questions.

Only new hires. You cannot transition from the CRJ to the EMB unless you updrade.

The most senior new hire in the first class able to bid FO on the E175 will be the #1 E175 FO for the forseeable future--get my drift?

IAH-DFW does suck, it's easier to do IAH-ORD than it is IAH-DFW.

Or at least it was easier when it was 737/757 every hour to ORD. Now most mainline has been replaced by 145/700s and it's still doable.

Any thoughts on DEN/IAH commute? Hard, easy. Any experience?

Just went thru upgrade class and the word is it's going to be CA on CA for the first 6 months. That would mean first new hire FO class around Nov or so. Not sure why so long as CA/CA but must be the Feds

Any Mesa new hires in a scheduled E175 class this month or next?

I'm scheduled for an E175 class on Sept. 8. I was asked if I wanted to be on the list to attend an earlier class if one opened up, so earlier classes must be scheduled.
