Re Envoy, if you take the CRJ-700 you're guaranteed ORD.

Anybody know if an SIC type qualifies for the $7500 hiring bonus? I'm SIC typed in the SD3 with 14XX hours and I'm considering SKW.

Also, if I understand this correctly I'd be on the junior side out of training due to the last four of SSN determining seniority. Any idea how long it'd take to get a PHX base or what would be the easiest base to commute to out of PHX?

Thanks in advance everyone.

1)Yes, you will receive the bonus.

2)My roommate from initial transferred into PHX roughly six months after ground and sim training. He is a lineholder five months after finishing IOE. You will have to choose the CRJ if you want PHX.

No. The smaller numbers are better.

What about junior FO lineholder (Ejet) ORD & DEN?

DEN: 5/14
ORD: 9/14

Again, impossible to determine with precision until they start publishing line awards. These are based on number of targeted lineholders for Oct, and do not take into consideration senior pilots not bidding (usually due to being on leave of some sort).

Awesome, thanks. I assume it's easy to get CRJ but out of curiosity how is the aircraft determined/assigned?

And any idea which are the easiest bases to commute to out of PHX until PHX is held?

I was given the choice right after my interview. ERJ classes seem pretty much full for the next few months, but not so CRJ. Anyone know the numbers?

does anyone know how long to get to / hold a line in DEN and SLC (crj). is it still true that the east coast (ORD and DTW) is still very quick to a line. about 6 months ago I heard that SLC was about 1 year to get to, is that true? Thanks in advance.

Take the first class you can get. Seniority really is everything. Trust me on this...
