The reason why SLC guys were awarded ERJ transition was because company knew the base would grow in lines over the next months to need them.

upgrading to the junior base to wait for a transfer home is a gamble but the alternative setup would be displacements happening in the DVR monthly. Pick your poison. Displacement doesn’t really happen at OO like it does at other carriers.
Tell that to the SEA CRJ crews.

He’s referring how SEA CRJ Pilots got displaced... still not as bad as my days at Eagle. I was displaced 5 or 6 times. Lost count...

You said displacement doesn't really happen here. I would say the SEA CRJ guys beg to differ.

I’ll buy that.
But a fleet base closing at any airline will result in a displacement. The Alaska CRJ got an extended life long after the writing was on the wall.

To be fair, the Alaska CRJs went away quite a while ago but were brought back to help cover Horizon flying. They were still doing Delta CRJ flying in SEA as well.

You can throw the Houston base in there as well. 120 crews and they give 5 people displacement compensation...

Seniority system doesn't really happen at SkyWest. It's honored when convenient for the company.

Houston as well.
The compensation aspect of the displacements though wasn’t handled outside of what policy states. Company needed to dictate a base in need of their transferring to for staffing purposes to receive the incentive. Company instead let them bid into any base their seniority could hold. No compensation required by our agreed policy manual.

None of my troll-business, but I do hope you wear a back brace when you carry all that water?
