DFW base
Starting soon on the CRJ. I am wondering if the DFW base will go junior when it opens. The HR people were doubtful, so I figured I would get a second opinion here. Any thoughts?
Also looking at FAT. Can anyone tell me how many crews there are there?

Are you starting 5 Sep?
I’ve heard 43 FOs in FAT.
No idea on DFW.

DFW has 4-5 non-stops from here on AA, so that would be better than ORD or MSP (or DTW) which have one or two. FAT is what I am hoping for as I'd rather drive to work (eventually SFO or LAX). But, I am prepared to commute for a while.

Is it too much to hope to be one of the “1 or 2 newbies”?
