Most of the new hires are previous 121 or military. The attrition rate of the new FO's is pretty high and this will continue. There seem to be as many FO's going to majors/LLC as there are senior guys. I know that everyone says that the fast upgrades are over, but it is not the case yet. They will end, but the guys in the next several classes are certainly looking at upgrades of less than 2 years. Expect attrition to be 20+ a month starting this spring. That coupled with the 30 new pilots needed a month with 3 new airplanes arriving, there will be plenty of movement.
Once awarded a transfer, how long does it take to actually occur? Is it the next month?

For the time being I'm going to stick it out with PSA. If I absolutely hate the commute then I'll reevaluate in six months. Hopefully by then I will have the seniority to hold a commutable line in CLT.

I read in the contract that if a trip starts with a deadhead, you can ask to be deadheaded from a location other than your domicile. I undertsand that you will not be paid for the deadhead, nor will you reveive per diem.
Are there many trips that begin with a DH? Is this a viable strategy as a commuter?

Sigh, I just shed a tear for you. What a horrible age to have in a new hire class at a regional in 2014-2015. You'll be flying a 787 on your 30th Birthday while I'm beating you in seniority in the same new hire class being 32. You deserve to be at the bottom of the list, and by the way, I envy you.
