UAL furloughees are being offered interviews for CRJ 200? (I/A/WLOA 03-22)

Plus if the hiring continues you could go to the crj in a year after the seat lock. There are rumors of hiring to the jet soon but as you wait you are losing seniority. Pay is the same on the bro vs crj first year, and knew of guys that didn't want to go to the bro back in 08 when I got hired that they never got a class, since all they wanted was the rj.

How's that commute to FAT from MCO? Does your line allow you to get there the first day of your trip and leave the last?

Then why say anything at all?

Commute isn't bad, it's LONG, but it works. Some trips as of late start and/or end with a deadhead so I can commute into SFO or lax for the trip. Again for fat you can commute into from EVERY base west of Dallas to FAT, plus SFO(FedEx) and ONT (UPS). Lax is my commute to FAT city of choice if a trip starts in FAT due to the last 2 flights on UAX are crjs plus you also have eagle.

after having worked at both places... the line is definitely blurred imo.

I would agree that SKW is no Mesa and the line is still very distinct but the Mesafication of SKW began long ago.

What are the hire dates of the junior EMB captains in LAX, PDX, and SLC?

How about the FO's in those bases?

What do the typical trips look like out of those domiciles?

Thank you.

Thank you.

PDX CA: 03/07
PDX FO: 9/10

LAX CA: 03/07
LAX FO: 9/10

SLC CA: 7/06
SLC FO: 12/10

FAT CA: 4/07
FAT FO: 12/10

Most JR CA just awarded has a hire date or 9/06 but the upgrades are increasingly going more JR at a rate much higher than the RJ.

I’d say 80% of the pairings system wide (except SBP) are 4 days trips with a relatively equal spread of start and finish times; the rest are 3, 2 and 1 day trips. 4 day trip credits vary between 15-28 hrs, with less than a hand full below 17 and the overwhelming majority around 20.

Do most FO's have a crashpad in FAT? I can't imagine too many people actually relocating over there. Do most trips not take you back to base there?
