You’re living proof 9E hires a lot incompetent pilots.

Is MSP seeing more CRJ or ERJ flying and does anyone know how that share of flying is trending? Thanks in advance!

OO is taking 16 more E175’s to replace 900’s. So E175 MSP is a good bet if you get hired.. i wouldn't base any decision on CRJ200’s….

About what time of year can I expect to be disappointed?

I'm currently with everyone else awaiting IOE on the CRJ. I'm now on my third base - DFW. It almost looks as if DFW is overstaffed on the FO side, but the bid info page says there are about 10% reserve lines.
I live in Houston and am trying to decide between staying DFW and commuting to a line (hopefully soon) versus bidding IAH and sitting reserve for longer. From what I've seen the past few months, IAH movement isn't great and there is a much larger percentage of reserve lines compared to DFW. Also IAH is mostly 200 while DFW is all 700s. Any info from CRJ FOs in DFW or IAH would be greatly appreciated.

This. Given MSP is the only Delta OO 175 base it’s easy to figure out what’s happening. Newest 9s (atmospheres) are Delta owned and not a corporate fav in the livery so (probably) shifting to WO 9E.

someone starting in April or May should not see the delays people are right now…. Should me back to 2-3 week wait for IOE soon..

disclaimer.. “should”. Subject to change…

The delay is shifting to ground. I know someone who’s class is delayed 2 months between Indoc and Ground.

Because of all the LCAs they’ve been training? That would be impressive if they could reduce the size of the backup they have!

Why should they not? The backlog is only getting bigger every week. Just wondering what your intel is on this and how they plan to get all these people through IOE so fast suddenly.

I hope you are correct. Especially on the CA side where it’s needed urgently.
