If I want to be SLC based is it better to fly the 175 or go to the CRJ? My main priority is living in base (SLC) and second would be career progression (upgrade) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

SoFloFlyer, when did you apply?

I got a CJO and selected CRJ due to the IAH/DFW domiciles, but I know the ERJ is slated to come to IAH on Oct.1. Is there any reason why I should ask to switch to ERJ and try to bid IAH on the ERJ instead? I don't really have a strong preference on equipment but I'd like to get IAH as soon as practical. I didn't know if the ERJ coming to IAH means the CRJ is going away or if it will be a dual base. And even if it is a dual base, would the presence of the ERJ take away from CRJ staffing or do those two types fly for different customers/routes? Appreciate any advice.

the ERJ will go super senior in Houston. There is no guarantee you’ll get it anytime soon.

Any particular reason you're so sure it'll go super senior at iah?
Looks like the bids for IAH ERJ are insanely senior on the captain side, but quite junior on the FO side according to the standing bid list. |

One of the things the company will do when it opens a domicile is wait several months after opening and then start adding more crews. Moving expenses are only paid on initial opening. (or the first two months..) They are opening on Oct 1 with 36 crews. If they really want 60-70+ it will happen after December 1st. They've only got about 25 FOs that even want to be based in IAH on the ERJ right now. It will be going to new hires, or those currently in new hire training.
And on the moving expenses... Only current pilots going to the new ERJ domicile get them. And you have to move, and it doesn't pay actual expenses. |
