I see the 175s are headed to ORD. Will this mean the CRJ base closes there? Are FOs allowed to bid over from the CRJ to 175 in order to stay in base? If I make the jump I want to be ORD based, but don't want to get displaced to another base if the 175 takes over.

Of course, I've been wrong before. Just one time. To see how it felt.

The only reason I could see it going a little bit junior is the proposed 2 year seat lock. If I were a more senior FO and close to upgrade I wouldn't want to seat lock myself for two years. With our upgrade time sitting at 8 years though I think there are plenty of FOs willing to fill 175 classes for the rest of this year before it goes to a new hire.

If the pay scale is set as they propose it I'm going to bid it. I'm sure other people are thinking the same thing.

You sound like you're a yes voter?
