If you think the instructors at Skywest or anywhere else have your future interests in mind you will be disappointed. What you CAN log and what you SHOULD log have always been vastly different things.

I have to believe there is a reason we keep the IAH base, and the only reason I can think of is increased flying for United.

How can someone back out of a bid? I know they're being awarded right not. I'm a CRJ FO in ORD and I bid for ERJ FO starting next year just to see if I had a freeze. Turns out I have a two year seat lock. But the more I think about it, I'd like to stay on the CRJ. If they did award me the ERJ, can I back out? I think it's unlikely they'll give it to me. I bid for starting the ERJ 10/17, but my lock isn't done until 10/18. Thanks!

You can't. They used to allow that but it made the bidding and awards drag out forever because the coordinator had to get an acceptance from each awardee before she could fill their old position. Many people (like you) submitted "sport bids" (that's what they called it) just to see what they could hold.
I think the company chief is the final decision maker in the case of somebody who has a hardship (like family circumstances after the bid window closed).
But if you're locked, they probably won't award it. But the might if they need people.
