The Blue Line is an elevated train. It is part of the train system in Chicago known as the "L". The Blue line is the train that will take you to and from O'hare. Its pretty convenient for commuters and those with crashpads near the airport.

It has nothing to do with people not wanting to go there, just that there are not enough FOs systemwide, in any base. With ORD being a huge base, there are proportionally more posted vacancies there.

So is it true what I've heard, not but 1 or 2 months to hold line in ORD? I'm also wondering, what are the best places to live for cheap? I know near now, near the blue line is preferable, but I'd like to start looking for apts early!
All advice appreciated.

Without any disrespect to "Chickenflight", I would like to get someone elses opinion or experience in making sure I get ERJ ORD base. Just like someone checks with 2 seperate doctors for an opinion I am asking for more advice, Chickenflight youve been helpful.
Is it true that if I bid BOS, that places me in an ERJ class, can I change my base to ORD within the first 5 minutes of class and get ORD no problems? Dont want to go turboprop to turboprop (I want to grow), and dont want to sit reserve in ORD on the CRJ. Thanks for the help.

I can confirm that on the latest system bid there are 99 vacancies on the erj in ord. If you request the embraer in ord i dont see anyway you can end up on the crj (zero openings).
I don't know anything about switching bases during training but I know of a few who have switched soon afterwards. For those guys it has taken usually a month or two to get through the system.

My understanding is an applicant can only be guaranteed a base, I'm almost positive I can't get the aircraft guarantee. So you say CRJ ORD have no openings. Is it possible would be placed into a CRJ class and CRJ ORD reserve status? Thanks for your help MRMak2, all advice is appreciated.

I've heard rumors from other ERJ ORD FOs that there are actually more than 99 openings on the ERJ in ORD, but the computer won't display three digits. That's just hearsay, I've never touched the computer, so take it for what it's worth.

Talked to Cory about 2 months ago about changing bases, he said the number of openings posted on each bid (at least for FO's) isn't really a hard number but a "guesstimate" of what they need to fulfill staffing needs.

Yes
If you choose ORD you have a 98% of gettin the ERJ. I CHOSE ORD for the ERJ and an EASY Commute. I got it. Everyone in the class that chose ORD ot the ERJ. If thats what you want you'll get it. There are very few CRJ spots and reserve is at least 6 months, if not much more.
