Assuming he gets awared the EMJ right away.

Second, I heard that the commute from Orlando to Miami is rather difficult. I know a lot of captains that commute to Chicago out of Orlando instead of Miami because of the larger planes and many more options.
-just what i've heard on the line

Third, I think the schedules and trip trading option once you are able to hold a line are much better on the EMJ. Although, I will admit, you probably will hold a line much sooner on the ATR.

Finally, you have the option of transferring to any base except SJU if you were to decide to move at a later date.

Just my thoughts...

Apply NOW!!!! keep updating ur app every week.



Lateral movement??? Starting in First Year payment again?? Be at the bottom of the seniority list again?? Not good!

Just saying moving should be vertical, not lateral.

Flywife - for your husband to get MIA, right now the ERJ is probably the best bet from what I have seen as far as newer guys getting base transfers. Its not too hard to transfer bases, but it may take him a few months for MIA. If nothing else have him take Dallas and put in a base transfer request at the first opportunity. Many new guys are getting their transfers completed before finishing training.

Was wondering if the Riddle CRJ course, which I took a couple years back, would count towards the airline transition course that is a requirement if you don't have then 100 multi.
