I was told in my interview that they are taking 6 bros offline until the work in sfo is complete. No bro classes for the next couple months. I got the June 2nd crj class. They also mentioned they would most likely be hiring into the 175 by end of summer. I was really hoping for the bro since I'm in the LA area but wasn't willing to wait 2 to 3 months for a class.
The EMB is the second most profitable aircraft in the fleet, and you dont just park 15% of them for a few months. I hope that helps it make more sense.

I understand that they'll tell us this during new hire training, but what do you do about a headset when you're flying? Does each pilot have to buy his/her own? Any requirements for certain types, or any recommendations on buying one?
Thanks in advance

Thoughts on traditional headset versus the lightweight models? Noise cancelling - active or passive? Not sure how loud an airliner cockpit is

If you can afford it, hands down the Bose A20... Nothing else I've tried even comes close!

John Im on the Bro and I fly with the Bose A20. I also flew on the B1900 with it and the headset is worth the money ($1200) for the turboprops. I attempted to fly with passive Dave Clarks in the beginning and at the end of the day I was fried.
If you're gonna be on the CRJ that's probably a whole different story. Im sure some of the jet guys can chime in.
When do you start class? Bro or CRJ?

Just saw that March '14 hire got awarded the 175. Be careful of bidding it though if you are new. It could succumb you to a long time on reserve when senior FO's figure out where they'll stand.
Looks like the June bid packet shows the 175 going to ATL, MSP, BOS, LGA, and DCA. All out of ORD.
