That's cool but Walmart =/ Whole Foods. Anyway, did anyone in your class drive? Just wondering what the chances are folks do that?

There is also the 1 year seat lock that is keeping a good portion of the FOs from transitioning.

The theory is that RJ guys will transition in droves to the E175 when the E175 gets a Delta contract or more west coast bases. That really hasn't happened yet. The PDX and SEA bases are very small and went pretty senior just as predicted. As long as there's no Delta contract I'd expect the E175 to stay junior and people to hold off on transitioning.
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.

It's just really frustrating to see your seniority in base get worse every month... I'm now 7 numbers worse off than when I transferred in 7 months ago.

Few months?? I have a friend who is in DEN now on the 175 after RSV in ORD for 3 weeks. I don't think theres any base in the system right now aside from LAX or PHX that are not attainable within a few months of being on-line.

Last bid had a bunch of people transferring out of DEN/COS and taking their chances with MSP or ORD. Seems that people don't want 85% 3 and 4 day pairings. Looks like any base that has a majority of United flying will be 4 day pairings. Also, the E175 flying is all for United and 85% 4 day flying. Just another consideration for those that are trying to decided between the CRJ and E175.

The pairings have gotten so bad recently that seniority for me is irrelevant for everything other than holding days off. At least I know I can hold Christmas off as one of my 11 days off I'll get in December.
