Speaking of new bases. Anyone one how bidding for vacation works when a new domicile opens? In other words, would one be able to bid for vacation in July if you choose after getting based in DTW, seeing how thats the first month the base is open?

Newhires going to the ERJ will be hating life for quite some time once all the transition bypassing ceases. There will be a LOT of senior people crossing over now that the DL flying is happening. It wouldn't surprise me to see reserve times of a year or more.

The ERJ pilot group has to grow A LOT. I don't think someone hired today will have much if any reserve on any airframe. Plus so many people leaving.

Just to keep things On track: you were hired in sept15, Indoc/systems/sim in 2 weeks. IOE wait 3 days. Did only one leg of IOE because you are THAT good. And you've been doing 90+ hours a month since. True, you hold a line! By the time seniors start transitioning to the ERJ you will be in United, so no worries there for ya! The fumes from mommy's basement are really getting to you
