Don't count on that ERJ are usually 20'ish. CRJ are pushing 70+ for the foreseeable future....

I would expect ERJ classes to pick up (for newhires) as we have the AS/UA/DL planes coming next year....

Thanks for the correction guys. I had no idea they were handing them out in class. Good for you guys. I think it's another week or two before my base gets them.

The CRJ class is so big that they will divide you into two classes.

Who named this thing SOP'M'.
I don't care if it is a manual, a brochure, a book.

Why's that? CA's from the CRJ move over? I'm not a fellow employee but interested in being one. Also what's the deal with the seat lock?

Thanks

I know a lot of senior Captains on the CRJ that didn't want to come over since they'd lose their Delta Bennies but that will end once the flying starts up for the 175.

First I bet you're right and they'll try to pull that crap because we're regional pilots and they love finding new ways to make us bend over.

Second if they do try to pull that then a case should be made that all CRJ pilots in any base get Delta benefits, all flight attendants in any base get Delta benefits, and I'm sure it works the same way at other regionals. There's no precedent for them only giving benefits to certain domiciles and we shouldn't let them start that.

There's no other industry I can think of other than this one where two guys hired on the same day for the same position get different company benefits. I don't know what jerk came up with that idea in the first place but we shouldn't accept it. The guy I sat next to in new hire class should not get more or less than me.
