Doesn't matter. Point is that if the gate agent doesn't want to unseat the person, you may lose out on getting on the flight. Whatever, I don't care. I'm just telling you what I saw happen once.

We have a J/S committee that will be interested nonetheless.
We also have things like HIMS as a non Union carrier.

*** Mike?
So we’re at a bit of a crossroads. We have the opportunity to take the next important step forward. Or we can place ourselves in a holding pattern.

Just to clarify, HIMS is a federal program that exists and is funded appropriately because of ALPA and other unions, much like the ability for AOL pilots being able to use the JS, and known crew member, and countless other things.

So I just got my offer and was asked what airframe I wanted. They seem to be the same to me, other then the delta benefits. Any +\- on the two?

Another factor is should you still be here for upgrade, the 175 seems to be the future for this company/industry, it is a lot easier to upgrade on a aircraft you've flown before. The ERJ is slightly junior to the CRJ (a month or two) at the moment, subject to change of course.

You truly are a broken record, I assume your house is decorated in ALPA colors and ALPA wallpaper

Personally I think the 175 is better. The trips seem to be higher credit and once off first year pay the hourly rate is higher than the 200 which is what you will most likely be flying as a junior FO unless you get IAH. A big factor is where you want to be based, the 175 has fewer options than CRJ with ORD being the most likely place but other bases aren't unattainable.

No it's not that because you can still jumpseat on delta. The main reason for CRJ for senior people staying on CRJ is most captains don't want to risk another training event before moving on, the ones that transition as captains are usually staying long term. FO staying on CRJ mainly because they don't want to upgrade and transition at the same time.

I'm aware. I worked for an ALPA carrier that is no longer with us. RIP
