Yes. I'd go there as a stepping stone because that's what it is. Anyone that's paying attention will know that. Unless you hate your family and want to be away. Or you've no degree. I will use it as a leg up if need be. But I don't suspect I will need it. Things are moving here and I can't see myself needing to stay too long.

Msp (CRJ) and ORD (CRJ and ERJ)are junior. ERJ is junior but overstaffed.

With the fleet increase on the E175 I'm sure they will start flying. With new hire classes in the E175 continuing I don't believe they would just train people to sit without a plan in place.

Well I would agree but they have had 40-60 reserve lines in ORD on the 175 for months now while everyone else has no reserves.

The fleet is going to grow. They're just planning ahead. If they were parking 40 UA 700's you think think would happen??

Yup.....I should have taken the CRJ.
