Glad to hear they will be running another class. We had heard September but I'll take late August as well.
Last couple classes have been all EWR as the Q300s are mostly headed there. But a few guys from the March class got to CLE. So if attrition holds steady you could probably hold CLE within two-three months.
If you have any questions drop me a PM.

I'm kind of hoping for EWR only because I have friend with a cheap room to rent in BOS and I'm hoping BOS-EWR wont be the worst commute ever... although, lets face it, there's no such thing as a good commute.

For commuting EWR seems the easier of the two so far. CLE just has too many RJs on long routes. The worst trouble I've had in EWR is when CO for whatever reasons plays the plane swapping game and trades a 767 for a 757, 737-900 for an -800, etc.
That being said, the commute in is usually pretty easy. It's just getting out that sucks.

I kind of disagree, as I don't see myself settling. I'm from Cleveland and would love the opportunity to come back home and be based in CLE. I guess I could try for ExpressJet interview, but that's not happening right now. I have an Eagle interview but I'm afraid of the whole divesting thing. I know a few guys at CommutAir, and they all say its not really as bad as everyone makes it out to be.
When FO top out pay exceeds a 9yr Captain grade at another airline you should really think about your options. On another note.... C5 has a great pilot group from what I can tell by JS'ing. ALL of them want to get the heck away from C5 ASAP. The crew I JS with yesterday, the FO just got hired with Skywest and he'd been with C5 3yrs.

Bottom line... Go to an airline where if you were to get stuck, you can still have a decent life along with pay. Chasing the fast upgrade can bite you in the A$$ in this business.

I passed up the 6/16 interview date for the 21st, because my now ex girlfriend was in town on the 16th, guess I should just blown her off so I could get a class date quicker. Well, I guess if enough people say they're not coming then maybe I'll get in the class and if not hopefully things go quick. Love2Rotate, who do you work for? If it's Colgan, the problem is im not at 1000TT yet. Thanks for all the great responses guys and I didn't mean to offend anyone, I'm just gonna make the decision that I feel is best for me, thanks for all your comments though, every little bit helps me make the best decision. Hopefully the Eagle interview tomorrow goes well and I will actually have some options.
