Republic ERJ-145 Bases?
 

Pretty simple question. I couldn't find anything through search.

SDF
IND
BUF
LGA
RIC
GSO
CMH
STL 140
CVG 135

what is the likely hood of getting CVG out of trainning?

It would seem that you could get almost any base out of training, except LGA.

and Indy. CVG is a good bet. I hear rumor that CMH is still going to grow as a junior base because they can quickly shift anyone on reserve there to any other base.

CMH is definately one of the most junior FO bases...not so much for CA's and FA's...but CMH for FO's always goes junior which makes it pretty attractive (I'm a fan).

They can DH you to any of the other bases from CMH and quickly so it makes it attractive to the company to keep a lot of reserve guys there.

in a related note, anyone know how easy/hard it is ti get IND out of training on the Shuttle certificate?

easy, most people go for the other bases because they are commuters

Sweet. the only commute i want is the one across I-465

In the month of June, I was CMH-based and didn't RSV a single day in my base. They must really need people there...
Surprisingly, BUF is the junior base for FOs right now.

CMH is one of those "chosen" bases because they can stack flying from all 5 codeshares on the 145 there. It basically lets them move any crewmember anywhere around in the system the need too. Plus, with every upgrade class they usually pull 3-4 FO's outta there so you're always moving up in base. Now...for FA's and CA's....it's pretty senior.

I'm here in CMH, and I'd agree that it is pretty junior. I had a line last month. This month back on reserve. Doesn't matter much to me because I got all the days off I want and I live here. The rumor is that with the next contract will come more centralized "hub" basing, involving the closing of a lot of these outstation bases. I don't imagine CMH is going anywhere since we have such a big Maintenance base here.

When I finish up training in September, I was thinking of bidding the following:
1. RIC
2. GSO
3. SDF
4. IND

Any + or - with these bases?

How many departures does CHQ have every day out of RIC and GSO? I've noticed both on my schedule quite a bit more at AWAC recently for turns and overnights...as well as LGA...:mad:

Enjoy BUF.

IIRC, CHQ is getting out of the USAir flying as RW takes delivery of more 175's. The ERJ's are being transferred over to CAL flying primarily.

But CHQ has 9 145s left in the Airways system, right? Are you guys getting rid of those last 9 (and totally out of 50 seat USX feed) as more 175s are delivered?

The plan is to eventually get out of the 50-seat market altogether.

Well aren't you screwed then, not being qualified for the "widebody" and everything...:D

Seriously though, are those 9 USX planes going away anytime soon?

I'm hardly qualified to fly the 135!
I'm not exactly sure what the timeline is to complete extinction of our USX 145s, but they will be pulled off and replaced by 175s.

I was based in GSO right out of training. It is a great place as far as the people go. There are some really great people, and they are like a big family. In RIC and GSO, you'll be on reserve almost until you upgrade. I have to believe that the company will eventually close both of them. IND is mecca, and I'd be surprised if they ever close it. Out of the ones listed, I'd say choose SDF followed by IND. Both of these have lots of people, which equates to moving up quicker.

Those 9 145's have to cover the 9 damn bases they opened to feed USX flying. I don't think there's any plans for those 9 to go anywhere just yet. They would have to order more 175's and there hasn't even been a rumor about that yet. Enjoy LGA... :eek:
