I live next to IAD, I'd love that CA spot! But I'm going to PDT instead, oh well.

Did you check out Commutair or TSA? Both may be decent options if you live near IAD.

I did. I picked PDT because we will sell our place here and move back to SBY after training, my hometown and where my family lives. Way cheaper out there and quieter! Ha

TSA might not be looking so good anymore, check out their thread. Commutair looks pretty good. The United deal might not be so easy, but for quick growth and a decent contract they are looking alright.

Where in our contract does it talk about street captains? How can the company in one mail tell the FOs on property to make sure the recommendations are within 6 months and in another talk about hiring captains from the street. How will the street captains fulfilled section 11E 5, and get recommendations if they are directly trained for that seat. Can the company call it operational necessity and disregard that part?

Or is it just a way for the company get people talking and get more people in the door and at the same time rattle some FOs into upgrade into the CRJ instead of waiting for the E-jet?

Less movement on the captain side. Wayyyy more lifer crj captains. I think the thought process of most people is wait an extra month or two as an FO vs. Being in stagnation as a crj captain.

23.B.6.b Vacancies may be filled by a new hire pilot or through assignment of a junior qualified pilot system-wide, at Company discretion.

As usual, they're opting for the new-hire pilot option instead of junior assigning people to the left seat in a base they don't want.

So yes! The quick upgrade train is alive and well! To the guy who says he can't hold a CA position, you are full of it, or something is wrong with your upgrade bid
See, I told you guys. This guy is definitely a management/recruiter man. He lies like a recruiter (we have the hottest flight attendants), and says come here for the super quick upgrade. OK. Truth: There are at least 100 first officers looking for upgrade in the 2014 hire pool. You WILL NOT get a quick upgrade. There has not been a upgrade class for DFW in months. Oh, and Mr. "Out of trim" I can hear you cry from here. Lol

If you are a 2014 hire and haven't upgraded yet. It means your not smart enough to submit a Capt qualification worksheet or you only want the shiny Ejet. It's not some conspirecy theory that the company might need to go to street Capts. They had almost no one bid for the crj on this last bid.
