Excellent input much appreciated.

The more the merrier guys.

I'd take whatever the first class date is that you can get. While you'll likely be off reserve much quicker on the CRJ, the situation is changing fast... Meaning that nobody can give you a solid prediction.

Your in-base seniority will likely rise much more quickly on the CRJ, simply because the ERJ in general is more senior and there are zero FOs with ERJ to CRJ transition bids. There are some CRJ folks wanting to switch into the ERJ (and there'll be even more if fleetwide DL benefits ever happen). So as that happens you'll see your relative seniority get worse if you take the ERJ.

But all that said, I'd take the first available class, no matter what.

There is really no accurate way to decide what the right choice choice is right now. I chose the CRJ because I thought I could be based in Denver quickly. I'm not complaining but almost five months in only one person was awarded Denver last month while the ERJ award was very junior. (I know I'm very junior too)

Thanks a lot guys. If I have a choice I'll stick with the CRJ since I'm already in the middle of systems. Just want to know want I'm getting into if they actually do force me over to the ERJ.

You're in the middle of systems and they're asking you to switch to the ERJ?!? Wow, that's one I've never heard before.

Are they just trying to fill a spot? I start crj ground on the 5th and they asked me today if I wanted to switch to a erj class on the 1st because they had an opening.

Yes sir. I got the impression that this is a unique situation. I also feel like I'm being offered the illusion of a choice. If they can't get anyone else to accept it I think a couple of us are off to the ERJ.

They're calling and offering ERJ slots to the current CRJ class, should we take it?

Wasn't given any details, I guess I'll know tomorrow.
