Agreed. I could have upgraded two years ago but enjoy weekend holidays and birthdays off. Now that wages have come up i can afford to not upgrade. There's plenty of us out there.

Yup. This is my situation. I could’ve upgraded long ago but don’t want it yet.

Any chance you can provide more detail? I have an ERJ start date in early October and live in San Diego. I'm VERY interested in any news of the west coast moving junior..... Or are you basing this on the Compass news today?
Thanks!

The company did not formal mention LGA but they have said for years they would like to move the flying back west... we still need to staff the east coast ERJ flying. They don’t want the rats to jump ship. They will wait tell after the holidays before they say anything about the east coast ERJ flying is my guess..
