Will I ever get out of this pool....or should I just go CRJ whom they keep needing more people for.

Reason for E-175 (since they gave me a choice) was for location.

Or should I just keep calling and asking??

What location? Every 175 base is also a CRJ base. I would not wait for a 175 class. You are losing seniority every day.

Random question for some of you who came from non121/135 backgrounds........What was the hardest part of training for you? Ground, Systems, sims, IOE?

Every CRJ base is a 175 base, but some bases are easier to get into on the 175 is probably the thought process or really just wanting to fly the under the wing junglebus

I think every base that has both is more junior on the CRJ. LAX will likely be super senior on the 175 for a while. PDX and SEA will eventually be junior on the 175 but it's a wash for now.

Eh, if you want the 175, stay in the 175, it's already been a 1/4 of a year worth of seniority, class isn't forever away.

I don't know, 300 to 500 more pilots under you could make a serious difference down the road.

We've gained almost 500 pilots over the past 2 years. Does anyone know how they've been distributed across the system? I don't notice any major domicile growth.
