Past experience shows that the longer they take to come out, the worse the bids are. Yes they have until tomorrow at 9:00 mecca time, but the last couple months they have been out by the morning of the 19th.

Good luck to everyone. It wouldn't seem as nefarious if we had bid transparency. I'm sure that is just around the corner.

It must be a Christmas miracle cause my bid turned out great and it was by far the most complicated I've ever had!

Does anyone commute from TPA to DTW? I have an offer from Skywest and I live ten minutes from TPA.
I'm curious about Express Jet because of ATL. Any info would be great. Thanks.

Thanks for everyone in this thread for keeping it professional and answering questions. I know its probably tiring getting the same questions over and over, but it makes a difference for those of us looking from outside in.

Is the ERJ situation in ORD still the same, endless reserve and no flying?

I didn't just shoot myself in the foot, I blew my foot clean off.

Yes. The E175 still has 63 reserve lines and an endless amount of composite line holders who get hardly any flying awarded. The CRJ has very few reserves in ORD, higher pay for the first couple of years and better benefits (Delta and American). If you want ORD it's absolutely no brainier to take the CRJ. I've been senior enough to hold the 175 since the first bid for it but there's no way I'll give up my Delta and American benefits while subjecting myself to 4 day trips or crappy standups just to fly a nicer airplane. On top of the credit being higher on the CRJ and the flight benefits being better on the CRJ the pairing mix is also far better.

My credit this month is around 130 on the CRJ. That's pretty much unhead of on the E175.

Mine too! Mostly P1, a few P2s. Amazing, especially for September... and I got the entire Labor Day weekend off

On the CRJ you can hold SFO right out of training. ERJ is more senior and your seniority advancement will be at a snail's pace since many of the CRJ guys have now transitioned to the 175.
