I don't think that's the final DVR.

Or god forbid you try and swap stand ups with another crew member from the 17-19th when bids are being processed. It doesn't matter to crew support that the stand ups are two weeks from the 1st and in no possible way could affect the legality of your awarded line.
"We do not process trades.. no exceptions.."
But of course they can call and offer me time and a half to pick up trip during this very same period.
...and they wonder why our sick calls are up.
Ridiculous.

The email is out, that is the final DVR for the month. They may make small tweaks, but I wouldn't expect anything drastic. Also remember the DVR is just a guideline. What actually gets awarded is often much different than what shows on the DVR.

Hi all

I am still building time but I am in the SKW Cadet program. Any idea if being assigned to SEA or PDT is possible?

I am hoping to apply in February if I can get enough flying in during the winter months here in the Seattle area

I think you meant to say SEA and PDX. From what I hear it has gone really junior on the 175 side.

Contemplating a transition from the ERJ to the CRJ. I've enjoyed the schedule flexibility and traveled a bit the past year, but the ERJ in ORD is cake and the crews are usually senior and subsequently boring. Airplanes are airplanes in my book. Been here 1.5years, and I'm thinking it would be nice to upgrade in the same plane I flew as an FO, learn something new, go to some new places, Delta Benefits, etc. So incur a 1yr seat lock, perhaps lose my privilege to drop stuff, anything else? Thoughts?

Wait tell after Christmas... see were the upgrade falls out. You could go straigt to the left see by 2 years... Or do it now. So you dont get skipped for upgrade.

Hi Everyone. I'm interviewing in a couple of weeks. I live near Chicago, so that would be where I'd like to be based. Can anyone let me know where the better QOL lies--CRJ/ERJ if given a choice, how long reserve would be on each, is training similar on the two planes, etc. Thanks in advance.

CRJ in ORD. ORD is going surprisingly senior on the ERJ there. New hires are being dumped in SEA and the rest of the west coast. If you want Chicago, CRJ is the only way you are getting it. Training is all similar and you will hold ORD by the time you are out of IOE
