I heard the lines are going to increase again in IAH slightly. I think it'll come a lot sooner than 6 months as a new higher.

What is the chance of getting SFO for newhire
I wanted to ask I actually live in sfo and wanted to know if hired would I be able to get sfo out of training and if so how long would the reserve be. I imagine it would be long, How long would it be to hold a line in sfo right out of training on the 175

If you're a junior SKW FO and can get hired by F9, then it would be worth it for the bus type. Senior FO? I'd probably stay and upgrade for the TPIC.

E175: Jan, 15;
CRJ: ..a whole 1 week earlier than the 175 person, end of Dec 2014
Keep in mind the first two months after hire (at minimum) are training.

Lucky you, (what an opportunity!), to sit next to the next Brooke Baldwin flown by the next Ho Lee Fuk. SFO? Have it! Please tell your captain the hardships you endured waiting for a slot to fly at home; the horrors of commuting for 2 months!
Fwiw, every single first year FO I know of (myself Included) has voted NO to this pay package
