yes you bid for a/c then if they need people for a certain type then they junior assign it

Aren't they parking the ATR fleet soon? Or they figured that they can make more money flying the ATR than crj200 on some routes?

They are still hiring into the ATR, but they plan on having it retired by December this year. Take it as blessing if you get it. Fun airplane and another thing to put on your resume. Everybody will be on the jet soon enough.

I don't know if I can make by december but I'll try...love to fly the props

So would it be accurate to say anyone who bid the ATR, then inevitably had to transition to the jet, would end up with two types (at least "SIC" types)???

If somebody that is young, around the youngest of the class, would it be better for them to bid for the ATR to try and avoid the 700 or is it better to bid the 200?

Yes, that would be accurate. I'm on the 200, but from what I hear the ATR is the best plane at ASA. I wouldn't mind flying it for a while.

It's "indoctrination" or indoctrinated," not indoctured. Thats not a real word! :)
