Any of the other bases close to available in the Ejet out of training besides ORD?
You could potentially sneak into a new base like LAX but I wouldn't bet the farm on it

West Coast is about to get really easy with all the new planes coming in. So if you want to go west ERJ probably will get you there

Some say if you want west coast bases, you could get it easy on the ERJ. But if you want quality of life, and a much more variety of trips, bid for the CRJ. Not sure where you want to be based, but I think you'll get almost any you want within a few months. The only places kinda shrinking are IAH right now.

I have been given an ERJ class and ideally, LAX is only a drive. Thanks much for the replies. May have just found my QOL.

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.

Depends on the base for Delta. They want their benefits, then they have to be in a base that flies the delta birds. Aka West Coast.
