I was told that a while ago. I believe it as much as I do the "pilot shortage"

I know this is a wide range question but what is junior in a class, like 21 and senior 45 or something? What's the average class sizes in the upcoming months?

Around 350$ per month I think. Or you can get a lease and have a studio for your own like for 500 to 700 a month.

Every class is different, there's no answer for this question. In my class (Nov 2010) the senior guy was 32 and the junior guy was 22.

Default Quick question

I have my check ride coming up and it's scheduled in the middle of a trip.

Assuming I pass when they send me back to my domicile, do I pick up my trip when it comes back through or am I released from the whole sequence?

Your HI1 or HI2 should reflect the schedule changes.

Heilskov1,

you posted this question on a different thread that was closed because this thread already exist, no need to have duplicate threads.

'hey guys,
I have a class date of Nov. 7th. I will probably be one of the older ones in my class. I was wondering if they were offered which would be better for commute out of DSM and for bids?

ORD-ERJ
DFW-ERJ
or
ORD-CRJ

thanks!'

To answer your questions, I am not a commuter but I went on our non-rev program and saw around the same amount of flight, must if not in ERJ. The bad thing about the commenting on the ERJ is that is often weight restricted on hot days or when an alternate is required due to weather. I can tell you that flying the ERJ will be your best option because the CRJ has a very junior FO group and you will not see fast movement there. The CRJ is staffed with allot of FO who have been with the company less than 1 /12 years. SO it will take a while for you to be able to move up. On the ERJ you will see a constant movement. On the CRJ you are restricted to flying out of ORD or LGA "currently". The ERJ is everywhere. You can transfer between ORD and DFW and see where the commute is easier, but not on the CRJ. The CRJ is hands down a better aircraft but the ERJ will give you a better QOL.
