theoretically, sure that would make horizon more attractive but you have to think of where the attrition is. Is it senior FOs? great that'll get you up the FO ladder, is it senior CAs? that would be ideal since the senior CAs at horizon are what keep upgrade times insanely long (and I don't blame them, not here to criticize, I think everyone should do what is best for their situation). I have talked to one fella who can point out 7 people leaving in one week alone, so that can be a great thing!
I would venture to say, without any evidence, that it's senior FOs leaving. which is good in a way but doesn't mean upgrade times will get better. That said, I still think Horizon might be a better fit for me.

Anyone else have any updates on the 100 vs. 50 Multi? Looks like on their website they are updated with the R-ATP mins and 50 Multi. I have heard they interview at 50 but you can't start training until 100. I know 100 has been a long time minimum for them but it just seems like it would be a big gap between interview and training for a CFI or MEI to get 50 multi.
Thanks!
Thanks!

looks like there's a new bird on the line
(almost, right?)
I'm curious- who thinks OO will be direct hiring in to E175? how long do you think it'll take? I say next spring?

It will be sometime before they hire directly into the 175.

Is it just me or do those pointy things on the end of wings look different than usual?

I guess this is some kind of enhanced version with new winglets.

I thought they looked odd too compared to what I've seen on the E series already out there. Evidently it's the first of Embraer's enhanced version.

Right now there are only 7 FOs total who aren't seat locked with bids in for the E175 with the most senior person on the list being just over 2 years. No one more senior than 2 years has a bid in for it right now. They haven't announced any new bids for it for a few months though. Usually when they update the vacancy report and announce they'll be awarding a class more people add themselves to the list. As of right now it's been going pretty junior though since the only base is ORD (which is very junior on the CRJ) and there are only a few limited routes. I'm sure it will go more senior once more bases are opened since the pay scale on it beats the 200 and 700.
Senior FOs who can hold 900 trips can probably credit more than the E175 guys so I'm not sure how many super senior FOs would want to bid over to it.
