70k - prob not as an FO unless you have no life and you pick up all the OT you can and bid conflicts. But with 150% OT and 300% vacation blocks ... Who knows.

In my class CRJ ORD was the most junior jet.

I was recently hired and have two quick questions: first since the medical exam is no longer the famed "astronaut" physical, what does it consist of now??
Also while at the interview we were told that the erj and crj are both seat locked, but a former eagle pilot friend of mine said he thought only the crj was seat locked. Which one is the case??

Don't bid a plane...bid QOL. The CRJ/ERJ at Eagle pay the same. QOL is much better on the ERJ than CRJ. I've been on the CRJ for almost 4 years ( I had a choice between DFW CRJ and DFW CRJ (not a typo) when I got hired). I've been trying to get off the CRJ for 3 years. Finally being displaced to the ERJ....I can't wait.

2. IF you get CRJ or ERJ you cannot move from one plane to another. Seat lock in any plane is 12 months.
IF you get the ATR then you can move to the EMJ or CRJ...but when you are in the jet you cannot bid laterally or back to the atr, since both jets pay the same and the ATR pays less.

As far as I know all equipment is seat locked but it only matters for the ATR. You can only move to a different aircraft/seat if it means more money. First year pay is the same no matter what equipment you are on. After year one the jets are paid at a higher rate so the ATR fo's/CA can transfer to the jet. If you pick a jet you are there until you are displaced or make CA. Also if you pick a jet you will have the ATR guys/gals transferring over to the jet and they will be senior to you during your first year. After a year you will start gaining ground on the jet. I was No. 1 in my class and picked the ATR for QOL. I was on reserve for 4 months and started holding day trips on month 6. My advice is, if it's an option, take the ATR and spend your year there. You should hold a line after 4 or 5 months. Then, when your years up, transfer to the jet. You'll have a years seniority and you'll be closer to having a decent QOL. Who knows you may like the ATR and want to stay there.
