And IF was allowed to go onto 145, would the estimated upgrade time of less than 2 years be reset?

Due to seat locks affecting the flow, some may not actually bid for it. Nobody knows what will really happen.

Honestly if you were going to come to Piedmont right now you'd be set. Getting in before the ERJ's arrive and the movement will be fast. It's amazing how much I've moved up on the Captains side due to the Flow.
Our bases are a tough commute, our schedules need more then just a little work but upside is you'd be getting on early and with the flow increasing after the 20th ERJ you'd probably upgrade pretty fast and have your job waiting for you at American if you want it.

Every sounds amazing. As you said the commute would be difficult. I looked thru Kayak and Expedia for flights from where I am, most of PDT bases would go through CLT and there aren't that many flights from there and nothing coming in to the bases in the morning.
So if I'm scheduled for morning, I'd have to get there a night before and be on reserve in a hotel.
What kind of schedules do newbies get? Mostly 3-4 day trip, start time etc?

there's always the cargos for mornings
and there are no set schedules for anyone...they randomly change line construction month to month, hell even in teh same line there is no repetition or purity...
