PHL E190 skinny
#11
You could be held for up to a year after you get awarded the Airbus. But...you will be paid at the group 2 rates starting in the month of your award (and at year 2) So you'd have the best of both worlds, high QOL and better pay.
As far as getting stuck on the plane long term. It is possible, but not very probable. We need to hire like crazy right now, and as long as that's the case, there will be movement. Now, if there were a game changing world event (Sept 11, 2001) or major recession, etc. yes you could get stuck.
If PHL is a tough commute for you, I'd avoid it.

If you bid the 190 plan 1.5 years on it. 6 months to bid off, then held for a year. Like others have said you'll get the higher group 2 pay while having an awesome schedule on the 190. I don't know if they are still pulling guys off of trips for IOE, but my last few months on the 190 I'd get pulled off of about one trip a month, with pay.

Now that the seat lock is only 6 months I fly with lots of guys who are heading to training on the 73 around the 9-10 month mark. They all seem to be headed down to Miami. So don't count on being held for a year.
Anyone see the 2 pairings in May with redeyes in them? They are ugly.
