Here's a very layman's question, do you guys receive and copy clearances from atc often or is it mostly canned and programmed before pushback? No laughing
New green pastures for me. Thanks

We often get an electronic PDC via ACARS
At uncontrolled fields we'll have to get our clearance through Center or Approach, or FSS at some airports. Most controlled fields have PDC (the clearance comes to your printer), but sometimes PDC isn't working or not available.
Sigh...

There were loads of pilots hired 2011-2012. Loads.

Well whatever happens, it'd be nice to see some more movement. Since transferring to my base in March of this year, I've seen my seniority in base actually drop significantly as more senior guys transfer in, and very few FOs either take upgrade or transition to the 175. (So much for the theory that RJ guys would transition in droves to the 175... It ain't happening.) Next month my seniority continues to get worse, based on the November bid.

My seniority would be significantly better if I transitioned to the 175 but I'm personally holding off because I don't want to lose my Delta benefits. If a Delta contract came up on the E175 I would transition and lots of other senior people would.

The Jepp 10-9 will tell you what airports have PDC and Digital ATIS so you're not left guessing when you get there.

Outstanding info on clearances, PDC and Acars from all of you. Thanks kindly. I do best when I prepare to the point that schoolhouse almost becomes review. A lot to grasp.
