Your domicile and seniority determine what you fly. At Skywest PHX based crews fly all US Airways. SEA and PDX RJ crews fly Alaska. LA crews do all of the American flying. If you're not based in those places you won't touch an Alaska, AA or US Airways RJ unless you get a TDY there.
In LA the AA flying tends to go junior so the more senior people will bid the Delta and United flying. Delta trips tend to go more senior in any domicile because it's mostly 700 and 900 flying which pays more.
There's nothing limiting what carrier a person can fly for, but based on seniority and domicile you can make a pretty good guess about what carrier a person will mostly be flying for.

Typically wholly owned puts the better pilots in the bigger planes. Lets look at Eagle for example top guys get the CRJ's followed by EMB's when they had the ATR's the lowest scoring guys in class got those. It doesn't really take any skills to fly the props whereas the jets you gotta be the second coming of Bob Hoover or Chuck Yeager to fly the CRJ'S.

This is my only second posting in this forum. It's off the topic a bit. I need some advise on loosing my accent. I have been laughed at all the time during my 2 years of line flying. Is there anything or any classes I can take to get rid of it? In my ground school, anytime I asked a question, the whole class started to laugh. During my checkride every time I said "Half bank", examiner chuckled. One of my leg from CLE to ORD, FAA came on board. And it was'nt my leg to fly. During the flight I've responded to ATC "Affirmative" & FAA started to chuckle. But he tapped my shoulder & said that I did a good job before he left. I'm furloughed now. But before I get back in flying again, I need to do something about my accent. Thank you.
