IAH is not a "small" base. Feels like we keep adding Mexico flights replacing Expressjet flights.

If movement keeps at its current pace, I should get SFO for March or April, and I started on Sept. 22. So that's about 6 months from the start of training. That said, the Bro transitions will probably throw a wrench into things...lots of west coast guys with the seniority to hold whatever base they want on the CRJ and E175.
When I was hired I was given the choice between the 175 and the CRJ. Everyone said 'take the CRJ, you'll get SFO quicker." But then a whole bunch of 175 new hires, junior to me, got 175/SFO. It just goes to show: nobody can predict what's gonna happen.

Couple guys in my class (Sept 22 start date) got DEN and COS for February. No LAX, SFO, SEA, PHX, PDX, or TUS awards just yet. As for holding a line, I honestly have no idea.

Pretty sure TG himself said that erj 175 new hires would be bumped out of base in order to accommodate bro transitions if it came to it. This was in the Q&A on swol. If true I imagine the new hires in sfo may get bumped.

Anyone who wants to know if they're going to get bumped need only look at the standing bids...I'm sure 95%+ of the bro pilots have their bids in by now.

Question about the interview process. I know they require you to draw a turbine engine and fuel/electrical system. How detailed do they want you to go in the drawing? Also, when they are asking you questions about the systems when you review them, how detailed do they want you to answer the questions?
Thanks for the help! If anyone has an example drawing that would be helpful as well!

Today 8 people were supposed to show up for an interview.
Zero showed!
I think if you drew a picture of your dog, you'd get a class date.
