Don't ever commute, and LAX,SFO are very expensive. I would take the CRJ in ORD
There isn't nearly as much movement as the company kool-aid drinkers would like you to believe.
Yes there's hiring at the majors, yes there is more movement in the last year than the previous few years, but it's insignificant in respect to the size of our pilot group.
I'm not even a 50% line holder out of Chicago, and have been employed for 6 years and change.
What's going to happen in the future...Barely any upgrades for first officers that have been here 5-6 years, they'll be going to the lifers that have been riding shotgun in SLC/LAX/DEN. That will take a couple years before they're through, then the jet upgrades will go to the latter half of 2007 new hires (which would make them 8-9 full years on property to upgrade).
Tickettoride, if you do come here, plan on reserve for a while and zero chance to upgrade.
