Are there any E175 pilots who used to fly the CRJ out there who can say what the trips are like for ya versus the CRJ? What do you think is better, QOL wise!?

222 First officers, CRJ base only but there have been E175 rumors for the future. You can currently hold DEN right out of training or at worst within a few months. Most junior lineholder is a 5/28/2012 hire.

elaborate how you come to this conclusion?

the DEN base is extremely hard to gauge lineholding without being in the base due to ASE separation.

I'm a 3/14 hire and I could've held a line both for aspen as well as regular last month.

Yes they are paying for the CTP. They will send the first group of pilots to Houston in February. Skywest pays for the course. Once the course is complete, you can take your written.

How long is the CTP course in Houston? What school are they sending you to in Houston? Is this prior to ground school? If so are you a Skywest Employee when you are doing the CTP course? I ask because of pay and seniority.

Thanks!

The CTP is done AFTER you are interviewed and if offered a job. It is also complete BEFORE the first day of ground school. Not sure why in Houston but guessing because its at the ExpressJet location but I could be wrong.

Depends on the base. If it's crj out of msp by QOL is a lot better, crj 700 out of Houston (mostly all of it is 700) then it's about the same. Chicago I would say it depends. If you want trip variety or locals/two days and even three days then crj is better choice.

People eyeing the 175, chicago is pretty much been stagnant the last few months with openings, sfo and SEA are seeing more Brazillia transitions. The only openings in chicago has been from people transfering out to SFO/SEA. So really it's kind of a hit or miss what are you will get if you are told you'll be in the 175. I think more and more new hires are on the crj. Sfo got some new hires on the 175 because people have been hesitant to get on it because they are unsure of what the trips will be like. In my opinion it will get more senior as time passes.
