Just be aware that even as a lineholder you'll never have a front end or back end commute.

Apparently blowjet got denied ASE certification as suspected so Skw will keep some 700's for that

We were keeping some anyway. Their plan was only den and ord. But like you said it fell through.

We still do lax sfo and iah for united along with ord and den

I interviewed a couple of days ago and was told that I could get ORD out of training in the CRJ. It looks as though this is not true....

ORD has been a little stagnant. I was a January class and I think I was in the last class to truly get it straight out of training and there were maybe only a dozen of us. Although it looks like possibly a more recent class might have had a couple fill some spots as well

Initial award in training will probably be DTW/MSP. I'd imagine however, that by the time you finish IOE you'll be in ORD.
The announcement of the additional AA flying yesterday could spell a good amount of growth for the RJ in Chicago.

what do you mean 'front end' or 'back end' commute?

COS trips start early and end late

What's the deal with CRJs in DEN if the United 700s are going away? Are there still 200s sticking around there or is DEN going to eventually just be Ejets?

From IAH, I would commute to MSP or DTW. They are both Delta hubs, so you have DL and UA flights to commute on. I think Spirit might go there as well. DEN would be difficult and you wouldn't be very senior there either. COS is not a good base to commute to because it is a maintenance base. All the trips there start really early or end really late or both. You'd have to overnight for all your trips on your own dime. Even LAX would be an easier commute than COS would be, even though the flight is longer.
