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.

Is there a possibility of them lifting seatlocks to fill those seats BEFORE they direct hire into them?

In the past it's not un-unprecedented for them to lift Brasilia seat locks when they've needed RJ pilots so it's possible. I think management probably knows that there are a lot of CFIs out there with SJS who think they're too good for a Brasilia but would jump at the chance to fly an E175. If they honestly can't find current pilots they'll take new hires.

They are still being picky. Its not an easy process by any means. If you are interviewing - I wish you great fortune and enjoy the process as much as one can during interview.

Interviewing 4 Apr. Anyone got any good suggestions on the best hotel to stay at? How did you get from the hotel to the interview - is there a shuttle or did you have to call a cab?
Thanks!
Thanks!
