Dude..is this the dream sequence from Wayne's World?

You might want to check "The Pipe" a little.

1/3 block hours lost?

I think his point was that this industry is cyclical and you never know who will be hiring at any given time. And not even you can predict what will happen six months from now. This year is hiring for the CRJ and the last two years were ERJ. Dude.

But as you will learn the past is never a good barometer of the future when humans are involved.

You should at least interview. Why limit your options? Eventually the lists will be merged, and you'll be able to bid on the ERJ cities. That may be a few years, but the years pass quickly.

Get hired. Get hours. Apply to a major.

If you sit around waiting for the perfect base, you'll lose seniority/flight time, which could be costly. You want to be at the head of the hiring wave, not the back. Good luck.

Did anyone have any luck with the vacation trading board? It is supposed to be working now according to the email, but no dice for me.

You have to go to the Master Vacation tab, not the Vacation tab, but it doesn't look like there is anything to trade for.

That's what I did. But it just directs me to a blank white page with nothing on it. I guess it was my fault for thinking it would actually work on their first try.
