Yes there's growth but remember that west coast bases are traditionally senior, people are waiting. First they were waiting for delta benefits, that's been ironed out (all west coast bases) and now they are waiting for second delta base and what those schedules will be like. When that's announced and a few months pass where ppl can see pairings you will see transitions of senior people. A lot of people believe a new training event means a call from mainline, plus people are tired of flying 200s
Yes, the senior folks will pile on quickly once the dust settles.

There are only so many senior FOs willing to delay upgrade for another year just so they can fly the shiny new plane. PDX is attainable out of class. There are only 4 or 5 FOs left in PDX on the CRJ. SEA is going to grow exponentially. I don't think new hires will have a problem getting time going forward.

You think 40 an hour is a decent wage for a professional pilot? Wow.
Let me guess, you had to do 19 an hour when hired so they should too?
I started at 22 an hour here. And even though I had to do it, I don't think others should. Its despicable.

The list of those wanting to transition out of the CRJ right seat into the ERJ right seat is really small if you look at all of the seat locks and pilots that don't want to go till next year. It would seem to me they'd have plenty of spots for new hires in the ERJ right now.
Rumor has a BOI ERJ domicile opening at the end of the year as well.

It looks like new hires in the ERJ would have there choice of SEA, PDX, SFO, or LAX. Plenty of growth in those domiciles over the next 6 months. DEN and ORD probably would take a while to hold.
CRJ new hires are almost guaranteed to start off in DTW. And for those wanting DEN, it might be a while with the reduction in United CRJ flying.

Two bids ago, DEN went super junior on the E175. But who knows with the future bids.

I'm setting up my interview this week and still having trouble keeping my finger on the pulse with IAH & DEN. I live in Houston but I'm afraid to bid CRJ with IAH shrinking. So DEN would be my next smartest option, right?
Also brings up the idea that maybe just doing DEN/Ejet would be a smarter option than DEN/CRJ (with the hopes of getting IAH later)
I wish I could have my cake and eat it too. Seems like IAH isn't a smart move but I'm trying hard to see if I can realistically make it work.

CRJ COS is an ok commute from IAH.
