There being very veage with all the aircraft swapping... Think they are still working all the details out.. But i cant see a 700 doing some of the eas routes. But who knows...

I thought I've heard somewhere, that we can't use dual class aircraft on EAS

Not that I know any specific EAS routes that support over 50 seats but they could always go single class on the 700. IIRC the Alaska 700's are setup that way and hold 70 seats.

New hire aircraft preference
 

Are new hires are getting their first choice of aircraft? I talked to a guy who said the ERJ is way overstaffed right now. Any idea what the ratio of CRJ classes to ERJ classes is?

Yeah, you get your choice. And yeah the ERJ is overstaffed. Ratio? No idea but more people are in class for the CRJ rather than the latter.

Thanks, do you know if they've been able to fill classes consistently?

They've been doing a rather good job at it. The seniority list has actually grown since when I jumped on it.

That's good to hear. I'd like to get on the ERJ to get the base I want. I'd wait a little while for it if they let you do that. Got to get hired first!

Name of the game is seniority. If you wait a bit just to get what you want you might get 100 people above you, just because you decided to wait. Just saying. Plus on the ERJ you'll be stuck in reserve for a while .

Not quite sure the last part applies. 20+ aircraft between now and end of year delivered. It's gonna get tough on erj side.
