Question about AC type and base request
Question:
If you are a new hire, and by some miracle get the E-175 as first aircraft, but eventually want to get back to DFW as a base (non E-175 location), does the fact you fly the 175 hurt your chances ?
Thank you

Also, technically, there is a 12 month seat lock for new hires to upgrade, but VD personally told me that the seat lock can be waived for company need (aka short on captains).

So just to be O.C.D. clear
If I get a CRJ as a new-hire, I can go to DFW as soon as seniority/etc allows. No seat-lock.
The new-hire who wishes DFW as soon as possible should probably try to get the CRJ as first-aircraft, yes ?
