Check passrider.com for a list of commuting options and keep in mind when you fly AA/AE you will pay roughly $12 per flight for coach class when commuting until you hit 5yrs seniority. It is free to ride on other airlines.

Realistically, it would be hard to commute into DFW on the same day if you had a sign-in time before noon. You would probably get stuck commuting in the night before and hanging at a crashpad if you had reserve. Last flight out of DFW-SLC is 9:15pm, which should be a reasonable time to catch a flight home, if there arent a dozen other AA/AE guys fighting for the last seat ;)

Eagle is down to a 6 year upgrade. Junior CRJ CA in LGA is going to be a 9/04 hire.

Is the last bid result out yet!!!!

6 year upgrade time with the current fleet size, flow thru's, economy and contract.

The upgrade time was 9-10 yrs for awhile there. The only reason we made this jump to 6 yrs was because of the bubble between 01' and 04' without hiring.

We need to consider the future of the 37 seat fleet as well as the 44 seat fleet...and whether there are going to be any new aircraft in the future.

Contract after 2012.

Whether we get sold.

The scope section in the upcoming (someday) AA pilot contract.

I don't want to be a negative nancy but I don't want new hires to think that an upgrade is 6 yrs away.

Realistically, in 2016 will AE still have all the 37/44 seaters? All those 50 seaters? A contract? A demand for almost 3000 pilots?

That is how I think of it.

Congrats to the 04' guys upgrading though. It is good to see the turn around and movement at AE.

That may as well have been in Arabic. Can you explain those upgrade numbers in newbie language?

Thank you thank you thank you! I have been looking for a site like this!

I'm on vacation, any idea when alpa will post the results???

Lol yea, the three-letter code is Base/Seat/Equip. I added some info to the original post above, so re-check it. The next 4 digit number is the relative AE seniority number of the most junior CA from the most recent bid award. Last date is their date of hire at Eagle (Most statuses have dropped to a ~6yr upgrade).

Nice.... :D
