I wish all new hires would understand this. I used to shake my head when I'd see other new guys in my pad jump at the chance to help scheduling out by taking a less than 2hr show.
I never answered my phone when it rang, even when on reserve. I would either log on and accept the assignment if it was legal, or call back and refuse if it wasn't. Some call me bitter or not a team player, so be it. I've been there done that at past jobs. I don't do favors, and don't expect them.

175 bases are ORD, DEN, SFO, PDX, and SEA. CRJ has those plus many more. Right now 175 is junior for upgrade but which aircraft you pick now doesn't have any bearing to when you'll upgrade.

MSP and ORD will have the least amount of reserve. Those are also the junior bases right now for upgrade. Who knows what it will be several years down the road.
How long does it take right now to hold SEA, PDX or DEN for the 175? Which bases are operating the Alaska fleet?

Yep, they will only positive space you from a domicile. I argued pretty hard with them before I started working there and finally gave up and just bought a ticket to SLC. I knew going to the airlines was going to be full of BS, didn't think it was going to start before day 1 though.

Latest upgrade bid has MSP CA at 3.7 followed by ORD ERJ at 3.8 years... All newhires in the July CRJ class got MSP based.. PDX/SEA 175 bases just realy started July 1 with Alaska flying 3 of 16 airplanes by next year. That should be a easy thing to hold if you get the ERJ..
