Compass is not even trying to find replacement flying at this time so I hope the Compass pilots take advantage of the opportunity. It could be they are not trying because they already have something lined up but cannot announce it, but I would not rely on that theory. Maybe they have some nice 50 seaters from somewhere? What happened to those Great Lakes planes?

I get there are is a lot of give and take but with those in mind I am thinking of a sooner CRJ class. Thanks in advance.
Depends what you're doing currently. I.e., do you have a job that you can continue to work until an ERJ class date. Frankly, I'd go ERJ if I was anywhere west of SLC at this point, especially if you're in the Northwest. If you go CRJ, you'll probably wanna be DTW, ORD, MSP, maybe DEN, if you want to fly and not ever get called on reserve in places like SFO, COS, FAT--at least from what I've been told; someone might disagree. In DTW and ORD, you could get a line fast. I don't know about the ERJ, but with the new Delta stuff, seems like SEA is blowing up (relatively) and could be a good spot for new ERJ guys soon.

Seems like out of ERJ training you could get a west coast base, or ORD at the very least for a month or two, but that being said, I'm not in the ERJ training dept, so I really don't know for sure, just observations. Good luck!

My experience has been very different. I finished training in June and was on reserve for two weeks in FAT. Line holder since July.
