Ahh you sure about that? I have a buddy based in IND.. he went from CHQ(IND) to Shuttle(IND).

This is just from what I have heard from the Republic guys in MKE.

There is also no bumping people. So CAs can only bid across for a vacancy. There are quite a few pilots who have worked on all three certs.

In 45 days, we'll all be in the same position we're in now. Save yourselves the trouble boys and girls: don't get your hopes up.

Let's start the competition. Best one I'll give a starbucks gift card for.... how about $10... I'm just a 9E FO..

Okay, here's one to get the public on our side.

Your Bag: 25 Bucks!
Your Life: 47 Cents?

Explain that of the total ticket price, a pilot costs about 47 cents per hour, in some cases as low as 28 cents (Q400 first year FO).

They weren't qualified to fly one on the YV certificate though. I think they managed to shorten the class a little bit.
