Quick question for anyone who can answer it. On the prior employment papers for the interview. I just have to fill out the top section of like company info my position and that right? Keep the bottom empty and they will fax that back to my place of work?
My biggest worry with this interview is the paperwork...

Long haul short haul, all depends what you like. Sit more sit less. I'm on the EMB, we mix it up a bit. Short haul good for last leg home.

Ya I figured, oh well. For newer guys I just looked at all the union stuff, looks like anyone hired early this year will be holding line everywhere except ORD, LAX and LGA EMJ. JFK EMJ is the most junior base right now, followed by MIA EMJ and ORD CRJ. DFW EMJ is after that. LAX EMJ is the most senior followed by LGA EMJ then ORD EMJ then LGA CRJ.
This would be from the perspective of someone hired earlier this year, and in reference to the time off reserve as of now, and with projected flow/movement. I used the union excel sheet that is red/yellow/green showing if you could hold a base and would have a hard line or reserve, so hopefully this is fairly accurate, I know a FEW people in my class in DFW EMJ got hard lines in AUG, all CRJ ORD got hard lines, all JFK EMJ got hard lines, all MIA EMJ got hard lines, ORD EMJ are on reserve, LGA CRJ are on reserve, LAX EMJ are still flowing to LAX, and LGA EMJ would be S1/S3. SJU ATR would be a hard line, not sure about MIA, I think RSV, and DFW ATR was a composite line. This is FEB 11 DOH.
Hopefully this helps someone.

I'm a Nov 2010 Hire, I was supposed to get a hard line in June (that what it said the alpa excel sheet in January). We are in August and I still don't hold a line yet.
Things changes from time to time, don't pick a base or equipment because rsv time will be "shorter". Guys in Feb Class have lines in the CRJ already in ORD, but in the last couple of classes there haven't been CRJ slots available. So the last couple of guys will be in reserve more time that they expected.
Pick the base and equipment in base of your necessities. NO or short commute should be your primary goal, even if you sit reserve for almost a year like me. BTW I'm in ORD EMJ, in the top 20 in the RSV list so I get almost whatever I want.

I would not use the information in the Interactive Alpa Excel Sheet for pourpose of base picking. Why? Easy...

I picked ORD EMJ, because I wanted to be in ORD and the other CRJ ws in LGA which I would be bidding out of there...I would be a line holder like 4 months ago.
Oh well, decisions...lol!

Well I'm telling that to the other guys willing to get something they probably don't like that much because of the information provided. LOL!...

I think LGA EMJ right now might be a good bet for a new hire, as they continue into 07 upgrades that place will see some huge movement.

Please explain how ORD EMJ is not considered junior?? Unless I am missing something (which could very well be the case), for the August bid period there were 221 lines (excluding the reserve and composite lines). As of the July 31st seniority list from the ALPA site there are 225 FOs. Am I missing something? It looks to me like only 4 would be on reserve (which doesnt sound right).

Edit: After re-reading your post, if you are looking at the flow plan on the ALPA site, that shows what is projected when all movement is complete, like when I look at MIA it is basically what things will look like come Jan 1st 2012 minus any new hires to come after it was made.
