If they think the pay agreement is going to pass they may announce new flying, if they think it will fail they will go with the challenging environment blah blah line. I think this agreement is dead in the water and more so when people see we have high profits .

What does
FO in SFO 11/20/2014 5 months, mean? That's the last hire awarded SFO? Nothing since?
8/2014 hire.... Classmate of mine was just awarded SFO last month. So he got SFO after what 8 months, however we did have 7 weeks between ground training and sim training where they send you home for that time being paid 60/month at training pay because sims were backed up. Not sure how they are now. Based off of our experience, you WILL be ORD or MSP out of training. Unless ofcourse you go to the 175 and I can't really help you on that.

Thank you for that useful information. Not very encouraging for me. If SFO for the CRJ isn't junior then I gather, obviously, the 175 isn't either.

Yeah from what I know and have heard, I think it's fairly junior on the 175 side since ORD and SFO are the only 175 domiciles as of right now. (DEN coming in SEP I think I saw, who knows). I guess it all depends how many CRJ guys senior transition over to the 175.
