No uncommon once a year to see a mechanical diversion plane being worked on by other companies.... would need a picture proof.. the MX flow board has no Odd tail numbers.. must be a hoax. No company MX would be done unless its on the flow board.

Now the lasted rumor is 175's for American. A photoshop was posted on FB on April Fool's Day, but a couple of guys are insisting that's it's going to be real in 2018. So there's a new one you guys can discuss. Not sure how well we are performing for AA. Operations in ORD for them is a different animal, and those generic -200 are always going down for mx. But I think 175's for AA is more plausible than an ATL base again. But I'm usually wrong.

When do new hires get nonrev benefits and cockpit jump seat privileges? After Indoc? I have to deliver a plane I'm selling during ground school and need a flexible itinerary.

Skywest Online has my hire date as the day I accepted their offer. Is that our official DOH used for bidding or is it ground School grad date?

Thanks!

Your official date of hire will be the first day of class. It'll be changed in SWOL. You'll be able to jumpseat when you get your badge. That could be a week or so into class. I can't remember, but I think United benefits start at 2 weeks in.

They update the DOH to the second day of Indoc. At least they did for us.

You should have your United benefits now, in Indoc. Even without your ID and KCM you should be able to reference the travel manual to use them. Jumpseat when you get your ID.

A DEN base question...

Assuming it's around for the long hall with United...CRJ-200s are going away, CRJ-700s are slowly going away, and E175s are increasing.
Am I right?

How long for a new hire to hold DEN on the E175? Pointless to say anything on CRJ since they are going away and wanting the DEN base.

Crj-200's are going away in Denver? First I heard that.

They are not - CRJ 200 will be around for much longer than most people realize.

I suspect they will outlive the 700 and maybe even 900 by many years ....

Pretty sure the 700 reduction already happened a few months back. They still have them and people are actually still getting in on the CRJ. Just a few months ago like 10 or so transfered in. The list is long though.

If you want DEN, I'd just go 175. Pretty sure it's going to be a long wait either jet you pick and the 175 should be around longer there where as the CRJ you're just taking a gamble on if we get more or less UAL contracts in the future.

Everyday a new rumor comes up but the fact is nobody can predict what will happen next month or even 6 months from now. Look at SFO. CRJ 6 months ago was fast to hold a line, now they cut it almost in half this month? Who can predict any of this?

If you want DEN or West coast your best bet is the 175 right now. That looks like it won't change.
