We are still forcing upgrades. Anyone who is eligible and bids for a CA spot will be awarded before anyone else on property is forced to upgrade.
As has been pointed out elsewhere, you can bid and be awarded CA faster than you can say Norfolk!

Basically, if you get SCR at CLT are you safe getting a long term lease or buying a place? I guess you would also have to worry about upgrading and being moved.

I'm totally unfamiliar with how airline scheduling works but am I reading this right? If I want CLT I can get short call reserve 5 months after hire, which would be not long after finishing training. If you get SCR at CLT does that mean you're domiciled there and just have to wait until you're a lineholder? Or can they move you to somewhere else for long call reserve?

How many hours does one usually fly a month on SCR? I am noticing a long wait as CA and just curious if there is a typical month of flying when on SCR.
I'm looking to get ORF when I start training late September, and it looks like that won't be an issue. I'm noticing the CA lines seem pretty junior, and I'm sure that'll shake out a little more when I upgrade in a year and a half or two, but just curious at this point.

I understand your question to be "Can I move to Norfolk and be based there continuously for several years until I leave PSA"
Not unreasonable to hope for that. Trying to predict the future at regional airlines is quite difficult. Don't structure your life such that ruin will ensue if it doesn't work out.

You’d have more control over your schedule if you take a line when you can hold one. That said, nothing prevents a more senior person from bidding reserve.
