I predict upgrade will increase on 175 as Chicago grows. Chicago is most likely getting delta benefits, senior folks that commute but can’t stand to lose delta benefits will be tempted. Especially if you’re commute is delta base to delta base currently ( slc-msp/dtw)

Thanks for the info! I am hoping to move to BOI eventually, it looks like and awesome place to live. Seems to be a bit of an outdoor capital!



I guess I'll just study the engines and some basic systems and save my $$$



Cheers!

Quick question guys



Does anyone know if my Multi Engine Command Instrument Rating needs to be "Current" coming over from Australia? Or do I just need to have one?



As they are perpetual, I'm wondering if the SIM check at the end of training covers me for recency? or is there a clause somewhere stating my Australian MECIR must be current at the time of the check to be able to convert it to a US one and make it current?



Would save me a few $$$ if I didn't need to do an IPC (its what we strange folk in the land down under call an Instrument Proficiency Check, is it the same there?) before I come over.



Thanks very much! :confused:

First, I don’t think we will open a NYC base. Maybe something like BNA, or ATL for the ERJ.. second i dont think many realy are holding out for DL benefits before bidding the ERJ.. i see short upgrades continuing for at least the next year..

First, there is exactly zero ERJ flying in ATL per DL net.

Second, we will likely have more a/c serving the NYC market than we have in ATL. I have a hard time seeing that w/o a base there eventually. But it will likely take 9-12 months and two massive winter IROPs to get to that conclusion.
