Question on those aircraft orders, deferrals, etc... for those of us that are new to civilian flying.
It looks like the company has 38 aircraft on order through 2018. Can they defer any of these (like they just did recently with other aircraft)? Can they cancel any of these?
The higher ups at the interview made it seem like the E190s on the books for delivery later, will never see the light of day.
Just looking to learn more about the order process, and take any predictions.

The E190 deliveries are so far in the future, and Embraer has even stated they won't be producing the regular version of the E190 after 2018. Id be shocked if we do actually receive those aircraft, and if we do it will be for replacements of the current E190s (and probably reduce the overall size of the E190 fleet).

When is the System Bid scheduled to open in December? Any idea of us 12/4 new hires will be able to bid?

It will probably come out on 12/5. I believe that is the same day you guys will be picking aircraft/bases. Usually the newhire classes in training are allowed to bid on the leftovers after the system bid closes.

No only 4 per year, unless they need a Supplemental bid (pretty rare). The system bids open the first full week of March, June, September, December and close 1 week later. They allow pilots to switch bases, transition to different equipment, upgrade/downgrade, etc.
