I should also point out that the company is fat on ERJ reserves, yet us CRJ guys can never, ever drop a single trip because of 'insufficient reserves.' In 2 years flying the line I have been able to drop 2 turns.

Not 2 trips. 2 turns.

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

They just said they had an opening and that it was first come first serve and to let them know asap if I wanted it.

Only can become more probable if you can put butts in those seats, and keep CASM within a margin that makes it worth while.

Not saying your incorrect, but misinformed.

West of ORD no one can drop trips really on the ERJ as most bases are below min reserve or right at min reserve. NorCal and SoCal are run the leanest, so no one can really drop trips in those bases on the ERJ either.

I dunno, I might say go for the 175 at this point.

The fleet is doubling, many FO's wont bid it because it's either not in their base or the seatlock would prevent upgrade. That could all change at the drop of a hat..... It's going to shake things up one way or another.

Too bad we didn't get a minimum reserve requirement on our last pay package. Instead we were given some meaningless MSR that just allows the company to cover open time for 115% and 130% instead of the 150% (minimum) it should be.



I guess that is what happens when you have an EB that doesn't have to fly the line and doesn't understand what is needed for QOL improvements. If only they would've listened to the line pilots that said the MSR wouldn't be worth anything.
