Yes. They will make you take the PC as long as it is before the class. I had to go to recurrent gound in my early month, 2 weeks prior to upgrading.

Looks like checkairmen are looking for things to do lately! Over the last few weeks I have been kicked out of the jumpseat on 2 different flights home for these random line checks. Its making commuting home a nightmare out of DEN lately. Anyway....if they start up CRJ classes here in May I should be in the first one as a transition. I am up near the top of the list and my seatlock is long gone by now. Just had my recurrent sim check scheduled for the third weekend in May. So.....if they do skd a class for May, (Not holding my breath on it!) and it starts the week after my sim check will they still have me go do it?

I would be careful requesting a specific plane after the interview. According to a few guys I know in the company, it is a good way to annoy the heck out of the recruitment team. Take what they give you and be happy knowing u will eventualy make substanial more $ the second year flying the CRJ than the bro. And it is one less transistion u have to do/wait for down the road.
- Gauge the mood of the recruiter first.
- Ask very politely, don't insist and paint yourself into a corner.
- Try to come up with a good excuse...
Good: My wife has a good job in XXX domicile and I'd like to be based there.
Bad: Props are for second-rate losers; I want to get right into that big shiny 900 that I so obviously deserve.

I would not be too worried about doing this...

Looks like you have nothing to hold you back now from requesting the Bro, I just received an email asking if any poolies want to start class earlier for the EMB. It says they plan on running one class per month, but also that "other opportunities" may come up sooner, whatever that means...

I agree with rickair, just be nice about it. But you wont have to worry too much now, got the email also. Seniority is everything, a plane is a plane they all fly the same. I rather hold a line and make money and get time than sit reserve for months and months.
