I don't understand why a transition is a big deal, we get mixed in with the newhires and call it a day. I'm trying to look at it from an operational standpoint while leaving emotions out of it and it's not adding up. Newhires do FO on FO sim training so adding us into the mix doesn't really slow down anything or take up really any sim time in an appreciable amount. I think a better question would be how many 175 FO's in ORD have bids in for a West Coast base where staffing seems to be tighter? If they're not getting a transfer and were holding back 175 FO's in ORD from upgrading than that doesn't make any sense. Whatever anyways I'm going on vacation and was going to bring my books to study now I don't have to worry about that anymore lol.

Either a announcement for 175 flying in ORD is coming or they are honoring transfers out and leaving ppl that only want to upgrade? The latter seems unlikely.

Isn't upgrade on the E175 three years now for SEA? No idea what it is for ORD. I saw a 2200 number upgrade in the latest bid award. Of course that could change as more senior CRJ CAs are lately putting in their bids.

Is there anyone in DEN that can tell me if it's shrinking? Have been trying to get in for four months and they aren't taking anyone

Yes. We are losing all united 700 flying that isn't mountain airports. Started earlier this year should have nothing in 6 months.
That means we shrink a little as the den erj base takes a lot of that flying.

I appreciate the input I'll be sure to inquire about this. I've never filled out a majors application. Do they specifically ask about special tracking or just failed training events? Im trying to figure out if this is something that could be used to weed my app out. My instructor says he thinks I'm fine and that everything is to standard but still would like to see me with an extra session. I actually feel pretty good about where I'm at and don't want to make myself less marketable if I don't have to.

People have lost their medicals due to alcohol, went through the processes, fixed them selves back up and moved on to legacy. You won't be on special tracking forever, study more chair fly more and put ST behind you. Be open about it when asked for hiring purposes. Own it, how you learned from it and made you be better and proof is it was a one time thing. I believe you will be fine, depending what else your past holds. But concentrate on the future to improve.
