From: Embraer 170/175 First Officer
I’m scheduled for Dec Indoc and they told me expect late January to come back to training. It seems like this maybe won’t be the case from others I’m hearing from...and that I should really expect March. I thought I was solid with the CJO from RAH, now I’m really thinking i should consider SkyWest with the new TA.... all the hiring at RAH and mention of CRJ fleet and still no real direction on the ERJ LOI (even though they parade it around as an order in the interview process). Just kinda has me scratching my head about my RAH decision at moment. I love the contract at RAH, but just seems like there are building questions about what’s going on and potentially an overstaffed situation.... welcome to Regionals huh, nothing is for certain I suppose. I think I’m gonna go interview at SW and see how their Kool-aide tastes.😜

Nobody knows what's happening, Delta said they want to shrink to three regionals, each flying both CRJs/ERJs. This plan has been on and off 100 times already.

Anyone have any insight or wild speculation into how this would affect upgrade times or even be implemented? A few months ago I foolishly thought I had this whole regional airline thing figured out when I got a CJO. Now that the 100 aircraft order may or may not have fallen through and SW changed their pay rates...it looks like that is not the case.
I guess we'll just do it live!

So since we’re speculating, allow me to speculate on the speculation.
Since G7 flies for UA and DL, are we getting their flying and a larger ORD presence and a DEN crew base? When B.B. made his meet and greet at my indoc, he did say there are aircraft coming off contract in DEN. It could explain the level of hiring they’re doing. That being said, I don’t wish anything bad upon any pilot group, and I’m also just spitballing.

That's kind of funny, all of my buddies never want to fly east of Kansas! Of course I counter with "you want the first time you go to O'Hare or LGA to be when you get to the majors"?
