Funny enough, I only had 500 121 when I left. But I was also in a base where when I started had 106 lines and was down to 40… The writing was on the wall.
Delta appears to hate the CRJ (regardless of variant) more than the other partners. The CRJ flying out of Chicago is actually pretty cool. And the West Coast isn’t bad either. But the Delta dedicated CRJ flying is in steep decline. It won’t be long until they’re stuffing 175s into the UP 😜

My recruiter told me to get 975 hours total time before class,
can I include my FTD or ATD (with LOA) time from the part 141 school's training sim time?
it's the sim time I got from private instrument and commercial, and was included in the school's TCO

I know from friends that went through that you need to bring the LOA with you when they go over your hours in ground school (and a way to show they were part of your 141 program). Otherwise they will not count.

I was wondering which of the junior crj bases had the most lines available (or best chance of flying)? Most junior right now are dtw, fat, msp, sfo, cos, and ord.
When I get through training, I'd like to fly more than sit on reserve at home and not be used.

I heard rumors of the msp base shrinking the crj routes, so I'd like to choose a base that has consistent flying and won't disappear if I move there for a year and sign an apartment lease or something. Is this happening with other bases?
*Also side note, does SkyWest ever convert anyone from the crj to the erj before upgrade training? I originally picked erj but switched when they canceled all the classes. I read the handbook and know there's a two year freeze period, but things are constantly changing.

If you look into your crystal ball, how long before us junior fo actually get to fly? By my account, there’s maybe 100 under me and maybe another 100 who have a training date of some kind. But the days of 20-70 fo on reserve have me thinking about staying at home…why bother being in base? Edit ER7 SLC
