Actually the 170 FO must be much more alert now that CHQ guys are upgrading to it rapidly. There is a strong tendancy to turn the auto pilot off and fight the auto-throttles for control. And this hand flying business? Didn't we get away from the 10 years ago? :D

"Auto Gear Putter-Downer is MELed" that's when we're on the last leg after a 450 show and you fall asleep before the marker. I dont know about that, beeing a 145 FO at RAH is much better than beeing a 170 FO! You'll see why here in the next 24 months! |

Not sure what the latest is but Montreal for Republic and Paris France for Shuttle are the back ups. Also Orlando at Jet Blue U mostly for recurrents.

Go Republic, the training program is reasonable. You don't need to know how many fan blades are in a CF34 8E5 becuase you can't do anything with them when you are sitting 25 feet in front of it at 35000' anyway.
This will fire everyone up, the 145's will be gone by the time you upgrade anyhow. Why learn 2 planes? I just got a 145 class. What does this mean. Would I end up like the CRJ guy on the bottom of the list forever? |
I am in the March 5th CRJ class and i am a bit concerned about the 30 hrs of flying people are talking about. Being a long way from home commuter concerns me with this kind of flying. I though you flew a lot during reserve..

It will depend month to month.

I'm seriously thinking about making the jump over to you guys. I just got my app in. I'm coming for the better upgrade time almost strictly. Its probably going to be 4 or 5 more years at my carrier, and really not sure if I want to be an FO for all that time. I'm on the CRJ now. But I guess the CRJ is not the one to get at CHQ. I'd like the 170, and looks like you are saying the RW is the place to go for that. Is that because of more movement? What's reserve like in places like DCA, PHL or PIT? I really have no idea what base I want. Something commutable, like ORD or PHL. I'll even take LGA on the 145.
So....is it still a good place to upgrade? I saw maybe upgrade may go up to 2 or 3 years vs. a little over 1 now, due to all the new hires to get upgraded ahead of me. Would they offer me a 170 slot seeing how I have 121 time already, or is it random? And how is reserve life? 90 min or 2 hour call out? Are there any other times for a longer call out? I suppose it depends on where you are based. And I'm all about going where there is the most movement, taking a quick upgrade to make up for my 1 year given up at my current airline. |
