I find the 175 to be superior in terms of comfort to narrowbody mainline aircraft. The huge windows give it a bright, airy, open feeling, and Delta's economy seating in the 175 feels more roomy than a SWA 737. And you know that seating is the airline's choice, not the airplane manufacturer's...

Have you tried riding in a Cathay 744 across the western pond? Talk about uncomfortable seats...

I've flown all over the planet on many different carriers and all I'm saying is the economy seats are horrible in the 175. Might be okay for a 30 minute flight, anything beyond that and the seats are completely inadequate(not talking about the amount of space, but the complete lack of any lumbar support or cushioning for the posterior).

Week ending 10/30 we lost one more that was around 28 seniority and has the same initials as Lawrence Taylor.
Week ending 11/6 we have 6 more pilots that were on the list the previous week that are no longer on there. Domicile seniority is in the 60 for the two that share initials with Tom Brady and Chris Rock. Two more have their seniority in the 80's and share initials with John Rockifeller and Aaron Hernandez. The last two have seniority numbers in the 120's and initials similar to Don Undertaker and Kim Anderson.
These could be people that no-showed and just got taken off the list, but everyone I list as missing was on our seniority list at some point. I'm not sure what is okay to post or not, so please forgive the riddles and pseudonyms.

The outstation bases (PSP,FAT, TUS, COS) typically have very early morning departures and very late arrivals at night. Most of the pairings either start real early or get off really late(or both). It would put you commuting in the day before, or going home the day after a lot of the time. Living in domicile would be fine if you don't mind 5am shows or 11pm releases.
The recently added TAFB rig actually helps these folks a lot. Start early + end late = lots of TAFB. You can do a "crappy" three day but get paid like a four day. So yeah you get to bed at 0100 or 0200 but you're home...and you don't have to fly more legs when you wake up. I'm good with it.

Anybody transition from the CRJ to the ERJ recently? I'm curious how long training is.

I heard getting the Ejet as a new hire you could be waiting months. I have a 170 type. Thoughts?
