They're going to be dramatically increasing the ORD AA flying. Back earlier in late spring/early summer we had one month of AA -700 flying. They were really awesome pairings too. SLC locals (6+ hrs), MSY, FAR, ALB, FWA overnights. There were a bunch of 26-30 hour 4 days. And 6+ hour stand-ups. All very efficient, and good paying trips.

Good paying because doing American flying at ORd means you'll be in the penalty box once a day.

Spirit, atlas, kalitta, allegiant and so on. They can't get hired at a legacy and are scrambling for anything. Better for me as I'll upgrade and move on.

Why don't you go as well?

You can expect till your blue in the face but scope protection and mainline taking back the flying will leave you seriously disappointed and also leave lots of people wondering what happened to their seniority,

He can't! Even the "low tiers", as he calls them, won't hire him! His posts sound like he's on the verge of a major panic attack...
He does provide us good entertainment though!

Debating coming to Skywest. Looking for either a DTW or LAX base. Just wondering if its only CRJ 200 in DTW and pretty much reserve if you get LAX E175?

DTW is all 200's for now. Junior base, quick movement. We also have a lot of Crj flying out of LAX still (American, Delta, United). My guess is you'd hold LAX Crj faster than LAX 175 but who knows with how fast things are moving... Not sure about the SAN commute but there is pretty high frequency.
