Express jet crew bases
 
Does express jet have an atl crew base. If so is that a sr. base
Thanks

Yes ATL is a base for ExpressJet for the CRJ. It is the most senior of the CRJ bases. Couldn't compare these with the ERJ bases until our single seniority list is complete (It's gonna be a while)

Yes, they have an ATL base on the CRJ, my understanding is that it is a more senior base.

Edit: Aeropug beat me to it.

It's also the only base with 7-leg days with 5-legs being the min (CRJ200) The next class or two should have some openings in ATL as people are starting to bail to other bases

Seven (7) legs a day?!?!?!:eek:

Can somebody post an example of such a trip?

I assume this is a joke. 6 legs is the max on the ERJ side but I've never had to do that many.

We regularly have 7 leg days on the 200. 5 is not the min, however. My last trip was 1/4/4/5. Anything over 5 begins approaching stupid rather quickly. I have only done 7 twice, because I drop 2 or 4 legs, or I will call fatigued because it begins to get unsafe.

NO joke, I was a little extreme on min legs/day (there are 1 leg days) but there ARE in fact 7 leg days!!! Here's an example of one...

1. MGM-ATL
2. ATL-TLH
3. TLH-ATL
4. ATL-MGM
5. MGM-ATL
6. ATL-AVL
7. AVL-ATL

7:42 of credit... this trip was 5/2/6/7 (4-day worth 26:40)

Saw another
ATL-GSO
GSO-ATL
ATL-CHA
CHA-ATL
ATL-VPS
VSP-ATL
ATL-ABY


ATL is the only base that does this and ONLY on the CR2. It's all the old ATR routes we used to have. DAL got rid of all the turbo-props but still wants the routes flown. Only way to make an efficient day according to the company I guess... most legs are around an hour of total block.

IAD has a few 6-leg days every now and then, but 4 to 5 legs is a typical day there. I don't think the CR7/9 in ATL or DTW has ever seen a 7-leg day possibly a 6?

Now, not very. After the lists merge, very very senior (with L ASA pilots).
