June flying will be increased by about an even 8%, or a 9% increase relative to last June.
AA flying continues to increase in ORD on the CRJ&7.
AS holdover CR7 finally goes away.
Delta flying expands on the 175 with scheduled deliveries of 175s and ATL flying expands on the CRJ.
UA expands CRJ. 175 deliveries as scheduled and the final CR7s slated to leave finally depart.
Roughly 15% reserves for both seats on both fleets, except the CRJ is fat on the west coast and lean in the Midwest.
ERJ continues to offer the best probability of getting to the quickest to the West Coast in the near future.
Net +11 airplanes for June.

Anything's possible.
But more likely sour grapes. If an interviewer detects (or thinks they detect) any sort of attitude, they may push buttons to see what happens. If you want the job, roll with it. It's part of the process sometimes, to ensure they don't hire folks who fly off the handle at the first sign of conflict. They don't want FO's who will walk off the job the first time they fly with "that guy" (there's always the 1%). Also they don't want folks with touchy personalities as CA's down the road.

Life Decisions
Okay guys. I'm between a rock and a hard place. I'm down to two airlines. Skywest or PSA. I have offers at both. Skywest is my preference in terms of base location. I grew up in CA and would like to stay in the area. That being said QOL is big for me at this point in my life. The SAP that PSA has is very enticing. Once you hold R1, you basically can write your own schedule. That being said after a year or so of seniority, in general(I understand this will vary greatly with base), how hard is it to get blocks of days off. I plan on using my travel benefits to the full extend and would like to be able to have at least 6-7 straight days off a month. I can do that with SAP, is that feasible on the Skywest end. To clarify, either way I won't be commuting for the long term. The schedule is not the only factor I've considered. It's more of a tie breaker for me to make a final decision. Thank you in advance.

Sounds like you should go to PSA and quit being a weird recruitment troll here. Thanks in advance.

Don't be that guy
PS: Weird because just a few months ago you were asking for help. It's easy to be a jack *** sitting behind a computer. Don't be that guy.......

If someone is telling you that something WILL happen at any regional 1+ year from now, especially related to seniority, I would go ahead and stop listening.
