Hence the 10 month upgrade. All the 175 fos couldn't get 1000 121 if they tried.

Now this is true. It's pretty common to fly with FO's who could be lineholding CA's on the CRJ if they had the time. Many don't help their own cause (live in base and bid reserve) others just don't seem to give a rip, some are just delusional and think a major is going to pluck them up from the right seat with 1,200tt and an RATP.

Apparently on the latest SAPA conference call they vetted the rumor that the company has a deal in place to grow the airline by 100 airplanes....as long as we agree to whatever pay deal they're about to shove down our throats.

It's a simple explanation that they over hired for a variety of reasons. You name it, none other than just being competitive.

... and now rumors are flying due to too many 175 FOs just sitting in ORD. That's it, I think if anything, it's just an abrasive strategy.

I'd hate to see guys commuting home on a day off because they haven't read the ppm.
Doubt it. I never knew that either. Going to read it today. Still would make my commute from 3-4 flights home to 1 if I bid PM reserve but I'll pass the message along. I assume I can't do the same on AM reserve or ready.

I'm really confused about the ORD 175 FO's sitting.... I just left the 175 training web as a CA (finished IOE in April) and my newhire sim partner has a line in June. He was on RSV for maybe 6 weeks. Some of the other newbs had a composite in May. It seems like all the new guys are hitting the panic button because they have to sit for a month or two on RSV in ORD. The West Coast transfers have certainly stopped, but the flying in ORD has increased quite a bit since last year.

Let's not forget last time they came with a "accept this to grow, deny it and we shrink"

Which is what led to us having these bs separate 2/7/9 rates and when you may never touch a 200, yet vacation, user, cancelation soft time, etc etc etc all pays at 200.
