Has anyone heard anything remotely concrete suggesting that OO is getting 175 flying for DL anytime soon?

 

Delta flying for the 175 and the EFBs....Kinda like Loch Ness monster. Always wanting 3.50......

I dont think either is real.

 

Another question: only newhire training is double-occupancy hotel, right? Transitions, recurrent, etc are all single occupancy, correct?

 

Correct

Filler

 

No, not dumb at all. ERJ's may not require more crews than a 700/900, but since the staffing for 200 is mixed in with 700/900, ERJ staffing will be higher than the overall CRJ fleet.

200's are much more likely to arrive at a small outstation and stay for ten+ hours so the same crew can do the am departure. Bigger RJ's at larger outstations or hubs are likely to get in late and leave early, thus requiring two crews on the overnight.

Also a 200 doing west coast 6-leg days with a lot of ground time can go all day with one or two crews. A bigger RJ doing longer legs will burn through the crew's block-hour limit in a shorter time period (less wasted time on the ground) and will often need three crews in a day.

 

Another question on the background check, if your class is in several weeks and u send your background info several weeks before u go do they complete your check or wait till you arrive? Thanks In advance

 

There was a email sent out a while ago about why the 175 is staffed higher, its not much, where the CRJ is like 5.3 crews (yea weird number) the 175 is 6.

CRJ upgrades to resume in November supposedly, this is due to a imbalance with FOs, 42 openings in MSP for FOs..

 

Skywest is not single occupancy during initial training?? I thought Compass was the only one that did that?

 

No man, you don't get it. If you think that a narcissist can be diagnosed by a couple of Internet forum posts, then you don't understand what a narcissist is. Such a person would be unlikely to post in a public forum where all posters are on equal footing. G.Lee from the other forum that you guys wrecked is one possible exception. His idolizing of his CEO is a telltale sign of a narcissist. They usually hold one person up above themselves as self evidence that they are humble, while treating everyone else like total garbage.

It's a life crippling disorder that goes well beyond egotistical Internet bravado. I'm friends with a shrink and she told me that most mental health professionals won't take more than one of them on at a time. It's too mentally demanding on them.

To recap, to try and diagnose someone you don't know a narcissist because they call you out as an annoying troll shows that you don't understand what you're talking about.

 

I think you're getting narcissism confused with Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
