Given the way we all assume the XJT/ASA scenario is playing out I am surprised they are excluded. It would be a good way to secure a very preferential supply.

Maybe it isn't time yet but I wouldn't be surprised if they open it up once the final days are near.

As far as I know you can still pick. That may change as the ERJ deliveries start coming to a close, I'm not sure. They may try to encourage you one way or another but it's up to you. ERJ classes seem to be about 15 per class and CRJ 25-30 per class. Each starting every two weeks currently.

If you really need a West coast base, go ERJ. Otherwise CRJ would provide the greatest career potential at this point with fastest upgrade (by far) and minimal if any reserve time.

Last time I called in sick, they used my vacation time because I didn't have enough user. Do I have the option of not using vacation time on sick call?

Hypothetically- I have vacation scheduled and just enough vacation time to cover it. If I call in sick for a trip right before the vacation with not enough user time to cover the entire sick call, what will happen?

Soft landing is something that company wanted by evidence of how quickly and out of nowhere it was marched through the process. 2.0 is coming too but has more than a student council to deal with.
Ending the cuffed 18 year pay scale opens pilots to a more free market.

I've met one softlander, so they are already out there.

Looks like they stopped way short of the projected erj FO number in sfo this month.

I saw the same a was bummed, they didn't award anyone really whilst increasing the DVR by 8, I thought they were saving for the new hires but, it sounds like they're not done awarding...? When will they be done.. Bueller?

Anyone been through AQP on the 175 recently? Recurrent is coming up and was curious if they've worked the initial kinks out. PM me if you have anything you wouldn't mind sharing.
