Bit far out to say, as things stand today you could. Delta planes coming over the next year and SEA being a base gives it a good chance.

I wouldn't do ERJ if you want to fly, chances are you'll be on reserve for a while especially ORD.

That whole "over staffed" on the ERJ comes to a end by December... 23 ERJ show up now-Dec.. They pre trained for that...

I know it used to be that way but as of my class and the few before me ORD is not an option. The DVR hasn't had any vancancies. The transitions and upgrades in the class seem to think movement will be slower than the CRJ but significantly better than it has been in ORD. The fleet growing another 35-40% by the end of the year seems to support that.

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

The westcoast bases are the ones getting the ERJ' over the next year...

Yes, the senior folks will pile on quickly once the dust settles.

This is bad advice going forward. There will be no more sitting around for ERJ pilots as the new planes come online.

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.

i disagree.
