Thank you both. But I thought you were seat-locked for the first 2 years as a new hire? They're going to train me again in the CRJ just because I feel like my career is moving too slowly in the E175 after a year or two? Has that ever happened? ...doesn't seem cost effective for them.

I had 2 ERJ captains in my CRJ new hire class. They don't have to do indoc again, just systems and sims. It happens frequently, from what I've heard, and may be a good move if you want another type on your certificate.

One year seat lock if the company chooses your plane. 2 year if you choose it.

I don't think you are seat locked for an upgrade out of new hire training. Only if you transition to another aircraft and stay in the right seat.

One year seat lock to upgrade for new hires. Training freezes can be waived for company need.

I'm a new hire so I'm sorry if this is a dumb question. How are you finding this out? Where can we see that type of info on SWOL?

Sure, no problem... Go to Standing Bid List, choose 'Awards', then search for the most recently awarded CA on whichever airframe. You'll see that pilot's name and employee number. Then go to the Directory and search for that pilot. Their hire date will show up (2/23/15 for most junior CRJ CA).
