The extra flying is defintly a plus , is there a lot of open time that is available out of ORD ? I know some airlines pay 150% for anything over 85 hours . Anything like that at Skywest ?

I STRONGLY urge that the CRJ be everyone's choice as a new-hire if ORD is desired, for all the aforementioned reasons. And if you still feel the need to fly the E175, that can still be done when the seat lock expires or when it is time to upgrade. I just don't see the point of being on reserve for a year and hardly ever flying.

You bet, I'm picking up open time all the time on my off days. I live in base anyway with lots of free time and having the extra money come in feels...well, good!

Literally true.

How long are the bypassed RJ FOs with 2+ years on property waiting for their transition class? In my base, up to 8 months.

And not a single peep from SAPA, the regional airline equivalent of high school hall monitors that desperately needed a punch in the face. You know the type I'm talking about.

I'm a 2+ year crj driver still waiting since Feb. Be in class in September.. I'm not mad or upset, VD told me exactly what I was getting into and I did it purposely. If it weren't for a waived seat lock I would be staying crj all day.

Why not just take your upgrade? You can't be that far out

When I bid in Feb, we were at 4 year upgrades. Diff story now. I am less than 50 away, may be upgrading before I transition.
