As stated by Amcnd, it’s difficult to say. The last upgrade award for June went to the CRJ IAH, just past 3 years seniority. You’re in a position as a new hire where 2 years from now the CRJ200’s might be gone, and we’re bringing on more 175’s as we move forward. Tbh your guess is as good as mine at this point in time.

If you’re willing to move to one of OO’s many bases I’d most definitely recommend SkyWest. Btw the regional flying out of ATL sucks.

Can someone elaborate about the regional flying out of ATL? Why does it suck so bad?

I already did. Lots of legs spread out over a long duty day, but you'll only get minimum daily pay since the legs are so short due to the way Delta uses their regional operators.

Endeavor!?!? I’d rather be plum smuggling in SFO for leftover City Wok than guzzle that gravy.

underwing time is more valuable at majors - just ask the 175 RJ drivers.

Both you and casualinterest were unable to read through the sarcasm in that post?
