Hopefully...at least thats the way I thought it was supposed to work :)

Cheers!

The current EMB FOs should go to RJ class before a newhire assuming they've met the 1 year seat lock and are bidding a domicile that needs FOs.

Last I heard from Virgina was a CRJ class starting on June 30th. She will be starting the awards in the next couple of weeks when she gets final approval and domiciles. All transitions from what I understand. I am on my 13 month and still waiting!

I want some of those PDX FOs to move on to the jet so I can get in there!

Just looked at the seniority list and looks like they just started a Bro class. Last week there were only nine people in training and now its up to 40, and a few are in a CRJ class. Only three new hires in CRJ. No upgrades. I have been on reserve since July and looks like it will be through the summer before we get anyone online behind me. I don't know how accurate. Anyone confirm?

Currently awarding domicile transfers also which has not happened in a while. But it might just be for new hires.

So there is a CRJ class going on as we speak? That is news to me...

They must be stragglers from that last class they ran through...

Sounds promising. I got bored of waiting around though and opted for the EMB they said I could get in the July class. It was either that or fly a jet for eagle.. Hope I made the right choice.

That's what they are doing, and always have been. They only hire into the CRJ when growth exceeds bids out of the EMB.
