There's quite a bit of CRJ FO attrition still to go. Lots of pending upgrades at the til of that list. Shrinkage to come, but they still need to staff the fleet.

He means to say they were "awarded" DFW. Their transfer date is TBD. Some have waited as long as ten months last year when we were a bit more stagnant. I would be shocked if it was that long. My guess based on the last flow plan is 6-8 months and it could be shorter. I will say ORD guys are getting the transfer before the LGA guys so that might be something to think about. ORD is shrinking and LGA is growing so that played apart. I'm not sure if that will have an impact on future transfers.

Flow plans change though. I wouldn't be surprised if they move it up or back.

The memory items are very easy (though important), but I believe it also says in our manuals to be "familiar" with all EP. You will get plenty of emergency training in the sim, it will go better if the first time you're reading a checklist isn't when you are trying to deal with it in real time. Also, there are a few quirks in performing some of the EPCs, for example whose hands go where during the first 3 items of an engine failure.
I would also share that every pilot needs to read the preface section of the E/A in the QRH. Many questions are answered in there regarding this as well. It's not required by memory but please be familiar with the material. Like my co-cheese said above it's not professional standards to be learning it when it actually happens.
