Close 139 captains in Chicago. 33 on that list is about 13 year mark.. do inwould say top 20 lifers. The 20-50 50% lifers below that 10% lifers. Just a guess...

When did they announce all 30 airplanes are going to ORD? I just saw the update regarding the initial (15?) order.

There's a bunch of lifers in ORD. I think we'll see something like we saw last year, the upgrade will dip down a bit and a mix of senior RJ CA's and a handful of upgrades will make up each CA class. If ORD/BOI is where the growth is....

If any of those airplanes go somewhere other than BOI or ORD there's plenty of RJ CA's and 4-5+ year existing 175 CA's with transition/transfer bids in. LA, SF, DEN and SEA have significant backlogs of senior pilots wishing to transition.

What's the pass rate of erj fo's going for crj captain?

I'm not sure but I wouldn't sweat it. People make too big a deal out of transition upgrading. It's certainly more work, but totally possible. I think anyone who would have issues making the transition upgrade would have issues upgrading no matter what.

Thanks man, sounds like the hardest thing to put up with is the crj guys talking smack to us. I swear that's part of their training footprint and they just don't admit it

Truth.
15 going to ORD for now.
Second part also true.

Anchoragua?
 

Any credence to the rumor of an Anchorage base for Skywest?

I heard horizon is closing theirs so maybe

7 for 7, when we all finished a week ago.

Spot on. I just finished the switch. A jet is a jet, and it can be learned. It was not nearly as difficult as it was made out to be. Just like any class you get out what you put in. 100% pass rate for our upgrade/transition class.
