Thanks.
Most likely yes...

You'd probably get FAT after a few months. The most junior guy there now was hired in April 2015. And looks like only 1-2 pilots ahead of you want FAT as their first choice. If not, you could probably get SFO or something out west sooner.

They let you put in a request for equipment. If you have a type in the E175 I'd expect them to let you have that airplane with the bonus. The E175 has less domiciles than the CRJ. Make sure it has one that you want.

Hi all, has anyone else here been assigned the ERJ initial class on 11/12? If so, have you received any study material, confirmation, etc.? I was assigned a tentative slot and looking to get an idea if the class may had filled already. Would we even hear anything at all, this soon? The silence is deafening Thanks in advance..

I'd imagine you'll hear something soon. The November vacancy bid closed a few days ago and the awards will be processed soon. Then they'll know how many slots are available for the upcoming classes.

Info direct from the source. Very much appreciated. Thank you. would you have a ballpark window that, if I don't hear to assume in or out?

They usually release the results on Friday. However, the bid normally closes on a Monday and this month it closed yesterday. I suppose it could still be processed today.

I have no idea, I would assume the data to completely fill the classes would be available to SGU by next week. Someone who has recently been in the same situation might have a better handle on when they got the confirmation. It's my impression that the CRJ classes are not capped (or at least they don't get close to the cap) and the ERJ is more limited resource wise, that's why the classes are 1/3 the size.

Welcome!
