And also the ATR guys who will bump some CRJ pilots out of their jet!

The CRJ displacements I would think would be just captains.

If 10 ATR FO displace to the CRJ then that's an extra 10 CRJ FO, the company then might have to displace 10 CRJ FO to the ATR or EMJ or just have excess FO on the CRJ.

True. I was thinking they were planning on displacing CRJ pilots regardless of where ATR guys go.

And I'll be the first one to go.

Back to the right seat. I'm looking forward to the higher QOL. At least for a little while. Till management comes up with another swift plan to squeeze us.

You are correct, with a few ATR Pilots looking to big the CRJ it will create even more displacements of the CRJ. It looks like it will be safe to say that those currently on the CRJ training pipeline might not get to fly the airplane. It's about to get interesting, and the company is just going to drop it all at once. The displacement of the 100 or so ATR pilots and the few CRJ pilots will create a few hundred training cycles.

And how exactly are you plaining this move? You mean if a displacement comes up on your base you will try to proffer for the displacement and bid the CRJ! Don't be surprised if the Union and Management come up to an agreement where the CRJ is of limits during this displacement bid. Not trying to create any rumors, but think about the training cycles that would be saved if this was the case, no need to create extra training cycles if the CRJ is overstaffed.
