The last bid went senior for the 175 CA, some want a training event (not sure why I haven't seen a app that requires a date to be put in), it also went senior for the upgrade because people want to use ORD to eventually get back west to Denver, if you look at the award few people are already in ORD more are out west, will be interesting to see how next DVR looks.
As a FO the ERJ is junior and the best choice if you want ORD. Extremely few people are transitioning as a FO, my FO the other day had been with the company 10 months and bidding 50% in Chicago before 2 classss finish IOE so who knows. Upgrade is going senior, FO you're fine as a new hire it would be a good choice. HOWEVER I wouldn't pass up a class for the 175, rather transition later if you want it, at the rate we're hiring now 2 months can be 150-200 people difference, that's a lot.

The latest rumor is that in addition to the 18 planes Skywest is getting through 2016 to 2017 for United. Skywest is also to get 30 more 175 airframes for Alaskan. Anyone else hear about this?

That means that Alaska would be tripling their region feed in a year. I don't see it happening. It's all just rumors till the planes are on property.
If you want to believe in rumors we are opening a DTW and ATL base with the 40 DAL 175's that are coming
