Why the heck did you do a foolish thing like that? Cause you want to sit in a shiny jet instead? Now the two months you gave up, you just let about 150 people in seniority go in front of you cause you want to fly a nice looking jet. NEWS FLASH! Its all same pay at RAH! Get in first chance and get the quicker upgrade. those 150 numbers could have you sit in right seat perpetuity if there is a national economic burp and things go to a screeching halt, and all those who took your Q class will be left seat.
Unbelievable! SMH!

You didn't hear it from me. My crystal ball doesn't lie, check back at the end of the year. Ask some of the ExpressJet pilots hired in the last couple years if they are still on reserve. You will be surprised, some are on reserve more than 2 years.

Now as far as the OP is concerned, definitely take a Republic 170 class if you can, not a Shuttle 170. Why? Because senior FOs can't bid over to that side. I wish I could bid over to Republic 170, with the 47 AA 175 that certificate will double in size, meaning if you get in now, you'd be bidding in the top 50% of FOs on Republic within a year! Meanwhile I'll be relatively junior at Shuttle, bidding in the bottom 30-40% while new guys like you will enjoy better schedules due to higher relative seniority .Republic is opening an ORD base for the new flying.
Just my $0.02

Just a question?
Does RAH have 100% cancelation pay?
Does RAH have 100% DH pay?
If you don't get 100% your losing money.
The subs always get canceled when the weather goes to crap and then you deadhead to your next flight
Expressjet lost 27 pilots month.
just my 2 cents

No, ExpressJet will take that much or more out of your paycheck on a regular basis because the payroll department is criminally incompetent (at least on the ERJ side).

I realize that this was a calculated risk... But the information I had was that 50% or less of the Q classes were full and that one of the previous classes no one showed for training. I projected that the one Q class would put me no more than 15 numbers behind and the E170 bases were much more agreeable to my family. I was told by everyone I know to stay away from the E145 certificate...
