Best Pick for ORD Base
 

Best chances for ORD as far as reserve goes and eventually a line.

Skw crj...

Trans States has a pretty junior ORD base

At Skywest you'll get a line on the CRJ almost right away. You'll get reserve right away on the E175 but you'll be in ORD right away.

There's a chance you could get a short stint in DTW or MSP before coming to ORD so just be prepared for that.

It's ok, we are all very welcoming folks in the Detroit area! ;)

SkyWest on the CRJ....

ORD was awarded to me before I even finished my checkride (back in March). You can get ORD on the ERJ side too, but you will be on reserve for a while unlike the CRJ (some folks actually want that, so it could be to your liking).

If by junior you mean senior, then yes.

PSA is a good place for an Ord base. Lol. That's what our recruiters say anyway

ORD is also Jr captain base at SKW..

Maybe a Commutair person can chime in? I had heard they were opening an ORD base for their 145 operation

Every place has short tolerable reserve times.

Go jet, ORD base is almost instant but for how long will they have ORD .

That's the word on the street......early 2017

Envoy Ord is JR. You can ask whatever plane in Ord and they will probably give it to you without hesitation.

One of the best travel benefits out there for regionals.

As everyone else has said, SkyW CRJ.

United is not renewing the contract for the CRJ-700s with Gojet (or anyone else as far as I know). Gojet is shrinking next month in Ord from what I am told. Don't go to Gojet if you want ORD.

If they don't get a new contract to fly the 700s soon they may merge with TSA so they will have enough pilots to fly all of their planes, and they will shut down Gojet. I hear they are talking with a few airlines in Japan or China to sell the plane. Of course that might just be to give them a little more negotiation power with the carriers here (American and Delta). Since they moved the inexperienced CP to VPO it does not seem they are serious about running an airline and will be shut down.

FYI

United at ORD will replace 50 percent of RJ flying with portion of their 65 737-700 (new orders) and 42 used A319s within the next 2.5 years and that's a confirmed plan

Only about 40 Ejets will be flying out of ORD

Once again, LOL at the BEST travel benefits.

Envoy ORD I was assured , choice of crj or erj . Only issue if they removed all of there crjs I am back to square one .

You just displace to the e145 or by then very likely e175 in ord. You will not be a square 1 you will fall into place where your seniority holds.

Isn't the United CRJ flying most of what gojet does? When will they lose it? And how do you know United isn't renewing it?

I'm not the one who posted that, nor do I have any inside info. Just seems like UA likes the 175 over the 700. SkyW has a bunch of 700's that aren't being renewed by UA, I'd imagine Go Jet is in the same boat.

All 700s will be gone due to max 253 seventy to seventy six seaters allowed per scope and 175s are preferred

Mesa, Skw and GJ will park their 700s with in 3-5 years

Who is going to fly into Aspen?

Let's hope mainline with a 737-700
Easily done and no restrictions

It could actually work out good for you if/when they put the other half of the e175s in ORD and you are on the 700. Which is so far what the plan is. You can just displace over to that, while other FO's on the 145 can't.

Max wingspan at ASE is 95'

There are plans to redo the runway structure because all the the uber rich people can't take their G650s in.

Not anytime in the near future. Not much room to play with anyways.

You can fly 175s into Aspen. Republic did it for a while for Frontier.

Ask a PSA recruiter about an Ord base

Atlas has an ORD base, but it is relatively senior...and right now you still need 2000 TT and 500 turbine. At some point they will lower it to ATP mins only...

Those were Q400s. E175s don't meet the single engine criteria.

It is no secret that United is not renewing the contract on the 700s except here. Management told people that the contract was already renewed in order to get the pilots to vote in the POS contract. I don't think people really believed that but lied to themselves in order to convince themselves to vote for the stupid thing. We want to believe we are being told the truth when we know we are not. Reminds me of my date last night. "I love you no ****!"

The United flying is ending and the planes are going overseas. We will go to the bottom of TSA with quick upgrades. Pretty much the same thing that happened to them in 2008 and 9.
