A buddy at Horizon swears that when they got into their short staffing and flight curtailment mess last year Alaska stopped taking new hires from Horizon until they started to get better. Don't know, can't say for sure, but there is certainly a theory some believe in that majors won't make things worse for their regional feeds if they get in trouble, and between fewer applicants and longer training with more washouts, a number of regionals are getting pretty tight for manpower. Especially those who pay less well and have cr@ppier QOL.

Most junior MSP FO is 1 year on property. Expect DTW or ATL for CRJ. LGA is an ERJ only domicile. Can you be more specific with what exactly you want to see with line holder schedules..Junior vs senior lines, pairing quality, average days off, average credit, etc.?

Ok, thanks!!! The website say most junior MSP FO is 2/8/18, but wasn't sure if that's accurate or not now. Want MN or WI basing to not commute, so trying to pick Air WI vs Skywest. Basing almost makes or breaks my decision, so if I can't get MSP out of training I can get MKE for sure.

For schedule, I was just looking for a typical 4 day line, and how much flight time per month roughly you can expect.
ex: day 1= 0600 show, MSP STL MSP ORD MSP CWA release 1730, day 2 etc...

Also wondering how much one fluctuates between 200/700/900. You can pm me or share for others. Either way thanks for the help

Does Delta fly the 175 out of ATL?
If not somebody will be tapped to do that in the near future.
