LAX is looking like a possibility, according to the latest DVR.

I'm late to the whole pay raise discussion. Finished ground recently. Couple of the instructors over the weeks seemed to think the company will have to raise pay to stay competitive soon. Hopefully they're proactive about it rather than reactive. Their still seems to be about 60 a month in class.

Harder to tell now that they do 2-3 class a month vs the ine big ine they use to do. But it still seems 60-70 a month CRJ. Then 20-30 a month ERJ. Hard to pin the ERJ numbers down because its all done in Denver.. plus the holidays are coming up and i knkw they slow training down around them.

My buddy said he lost all his referrals to Envoy after they made their bonus announcement. These are unprecedented times for sure. The new norm will soon become higher first-year pay and retention bonuses.

Looking at interviewing soon, and hopefully getting a class date in jan when I reach 1500. Quick question.

If I live in Sacramento,CA what is the best airframe and base to choose for QOL purposes (assuming I don't move to base) ?
Drive to FAT or SFO or Commute to LAX?

Is there more money to be made for motivated FOs on the ERJ or CRJ come 2017?

I used to be based in SFO and the majority of the captains I flew with drove from Sacramento. Most people would try to bid trips that didn't make them cross the bay bridge during rush hour, but other than that most said they liked it better than commuting to LAX or FAT.

There's more money to be made on the CRJ because the plane is more junior so you hold a line quicker, and it's more understaffed so there's more open time to pick up. The E175 has less crews so there is less open time, and it's more senior so you sit reserve longer and are less able to fill up your schedule.

SFO is one of the bases where E175 pilots get Delta benefits so there is no difference in flight benefits between the CRJ and E175 for SFO based crews.

Sorry I should've specified. I've been seeing about 30 a class on the CRJ side. Forgot to mention 175 classes. There were a handful of them in my CTP class.
