Wow, that would be great. Where is this info coming from? Any word on the class size per month?

Thats just the rumor going around our forums. Not sure about class size, or which aircraft. I can't imagine they would ALL be Bro classes. I'm sure there will be some CRJ classes in there, but you never know.

Yes. 12 months but it can be waived by the company based on need.

If you want the RJ...I'd hold out for an RJ class. There were a number of guys that took the Bro, in hopes of transition to the RJ after their seatlock (1st year pay is the same) so they could get a seniority number sooner. Now, 3+ years later, many of them are stuck on the Bro, because the company stopped awarding transitions when things slowed down.

I took the bro because I wanted a job. They had stopped running jet classes when I was hired.

Right. I'm just talking about the handful of guys that were hired around '07.

If it were me, I'd just take the first class that is offered. For me, it was the CRJ, so I guess I'm lucky, pay wise. Such a boring plane though.

Actually I don't really care for either the Bro or Crj...I just need a job and whatever aircraft that gets me as close to home as possible (SoCal). Thanks for the info!

I really need to get a job before I have to accept a mandatory recall from TSA - Yikes! How important is currency at SKW? My last flight was on September 2010 (part 135 scheduled and unscheduled airlines I used to work for...) so I wonder if 90+ days away from a cockpit would be an issue.

If you want socal, you'd want the EMB. Junior domiciles for the RJ will be IAH, then MSP. The farther west you go, the more senior things get on the RJ.
