Sounds like you must have picked ORD as a new hire domicile. Why do you want DFW now? Just curious.

Yep, I picked ORD as a new hire. I didn't want to commute so for a few reasons I chose Chicago. Then I got there and realized I didn't like the city and if I'm going to not commute I'd rather do it in Dallas.
Also I wanted the ATR because I don't like how we can't go from a jet to prop and I wanted to leave my options open. But hey, at least I'm not furloughed yet, so that's good!
What do you think the odds are there'll be DFE vacancies in the near future?

Random I know, but it shows that people don't always know what they're talking about. If you've got the opportunity to go somewhere else, do that and if Eagle calls you in a few months, awesome.

All of it is explained in plain language in the "Displacement, furlough, recall '101'" guide put out by Eagle ALPA. It was sent out in an email on June 24.
