Hey guys new hire CRJ here(in class). May be getting junior manned into the ERJ. I know the ERJ reserve is awful right now but what is the consensus on what it will look like in 6ish months with all of the new planes coming on line? Anyone know what the junior bases will be? Was really looking forward to all of the movement on the CRJ but **** happens.

I appreciate the reply. Hopefully we can get some other folks to chime in. They're making me think I have a choice right now. If I actually do have a choice which is the smart move? I know I could use the search function but they want to figure something out in the morning so I'd appreciate some quick input.

E175 went really junior for FOs in denver too in the last bid. Right now, Denver E175 line holders are mostly getting minimum guarantee, but by next summer, most of the CRJ700s will be gone from Denver and E175s will be taking over those routes. The E175 might be short term pain for long term gain for a new hire right now.

Your in-base seniority will likely rise much more quickly on the CRJ, simply because the ERJ in general is more senior and there are zero FOs with ERJ to CRJ transition bids. There are some CRJ folks wanting to switch into the ERJ (and there'll be even more if fleetwide DL benefits ever happen). So as that happens you'll see your relative seniority get worse if you take the ERJ.
But all that said, I'd take the first available class, no matter what.

There is really no accurate way to decide what the right choice choice is right now. I chose the CRJ because I thought I could be based in Denver quickly. I'm not complaining but almost five months in only one person was awarded Denver last month while the ERJ award was very junior. (I know I'm very junior too)

Thanks a lot guys. If I have a choice I'll stick with the CRJ since I'm already in the middle of systems. Just want to know want I'm getting into if they actually do force me over to the ERJ.

You're in the middle of systems and they're asking you to switch to the ERJ?!? Wow, that's one I've never heard before.

Are they just trying to fill a spot? I start crj ground on the 5th and they asked me today if I wanted to switch to a erj class on the 1st because they had an opening.
