WOW!!!!!!!!!! I seriously think this is WORST CASE SCENARIO! But if you are in the CRJ pool then I'd be begging for the EMB. If you don't you're giving up a lot of seniority numbers to EMB pilots who are going to start new hire class months before you. They'll spend the first year at the same pay rate as you but they'll have better QOL and larger W2's seeing they didn’t sit reserve (extremely short staffed on the EMB and we have 20+% reserves on the RJ) and they were able to hold a line meaning more pay and more days off (13-16 for line holders instead of 10-11 for reservist). Also, after they transition over to the RJ they’ll end up in front of you on the list, they'll more than likely upgrade before you, hold better trips, weekends off or holidays off.

Something to think about.

Just heard from a friend who interviewed today that he was told at his interview that there will be a May 5 EMB New Hire class and that no New Hire/Trans RJ classes are scheduled at this time. This was stated to his interview group this morning in Salt Lake. For what its worth, not trying to add to the rumor mill.

For you guys in the April 7th EMB new hire class, look for the pilot wearing a burnt orange University of Texas or a blue Dallas Cowboys lanyard and that will be me.

Best of luck to all and see you in SLC or on line.
