All the old gouge information is spot on. They have not changed a thing.

We're an all RJ fleet...of course the 200 is the first training...

During the first couple days of class aircraft assignments/bids will be made, I'm looking for what those assignments/awards are and the distribution of the newhire classes between the 200 and 700.

just out of curiosity....are they making furloughed CRJ drivers do the sim in the interview?

Yes. They don't want someone coming back and shouting that they had been treated unfairly. A guy I know is furloughed with 1800 hours in the CRJ and had to do the sim ride.

I'd be surprised if any new hire is awarded the 700/900 considering there are pilots on the current seniority list who are waiting to get on, or get back to the 700/900. Not saying it can't happen.

So... anyone know where a good gouge is?

Several thoughts after reading these 5 pages:

1. Anyone coming here now must realize the full scope of what it means going to the bottom of this merged list (which hasn't been merged yet). ExpressJet has ~150 furloughees, and they will be senior to you. This means they could force their way back, and YOU could end up on furlough if growth doesn't happen!

2. Know going in what quality of life is like at ASA. Read here and flightinfo for some insight. ASA treats reserves worse than an ugly mutt hound dog. You will have no life. Period. And you will spend several years on reserve. The merger will preclude any real growth, because since ASA has their hands full with the merger, SkyWest Inc will give anything that comes along to SkyWest Airlines.

3. It is unlikely that any newhires will go to the 700/900. The most recent award gave the 70/90 to many current 200 pilots, which means they plan to back fill the 200 with new hires. QOL on the 200 compared to the 700/900 is night and day. The 200 does 4-7 legs a day of flights mostly an hour or less on 4 day trips. The 700/900 does 2-4 a day, most flights 1-2 hours. QOL on the 200 is so bad that people who can hold a line with weekends off on the 200 are opting for reserve on the 700 for a better lifestyle!

4. DR does not represent the typical ASA pilot or ASA manager. I'm just saying...

What are the reserve rules at ASA compared to XJT?
