Hi all, is there any chance new hires in October-November range would be able to get into the 175?

Do you think you could handle it? What's wrong with a 145?

Doubtful. Probably dallas on the 145 is more likely.

He can't log that precious Under Wing Engine Time. UWET SIC is worth triple what that tail engine time is worth. Everyone knows that.

Haha if you want to fly a shiny new E175 with eagle on the side of it, go to RAH. If you want to fly a shiny CRJ with eagle on it, go to psa.

I don't have a problem with the e145 but if I could choose I would rather the 175, also it sounds like envoy has better flight benefits then RAH and contract...

Why would you rather fly the 175?

Our flight benefits are probably better than anyone elses but still arent that great. Our contract *specifically the Reserve section* may as well not exist as the company has thrown it out completely. Schedules are terrible. Expect as as line holder to have 55-66 hours of credit a month with 11 days off. Expect to be commuting in a day early/the day after your trip as well. Right now it takes almost 4 years to hold a line in ORD. Im not sure about dfw but its probably close to the same. The flow, for now is working which is good. I personally expect that to stop after the 824 arbitrator award. Protected pilots are just covered under the contract and the company shows us all the time what they think of the contract. The company i believe a few times has said they wont flow the company out of existance, so... take that FWIW. We arent getting many new hires in the door, most of the movement we have is due to flow and attrition. Fortunately most of that attrition seems to be upward movement and not lateral movement like the company wanted.

Holy crap. This forum becomes more and more useless by the day.

To answer the damn question: Can you get the E175 out of training? Maybe not in October. But probably later in2016 as more come online.

Are you serious? Everybody knows the schedules are typically better on the 175. Trip pairings are usually higher time with less avg legs per day.
