What did you bid for and what's your seniority in base?

This is not good info at all. The NW bases are growing very fast. New hires are getting ERJ in PDX right out of training. SEA will be close behind.

Thank you both for that.

I have just been accepted into OO so very excited to start and have dates for CTP and CRJ Ground School.

After DTW and MSP, what are the next most junior bases on the CRJ please?

Thank you

CN means the company plucked away what you could have held and gave you what they wanted.

PN means you messed up bidding at your seniority.

You are a company man this month.

That's not at all what it means.

CN means there was a coverage day, and no matter what you bid, you WILL work that day. It doesn't necessarily mean you have a trip plucked for that cn

You're thinking of "replaced due to line constraints" in the reason report. CN says we know what you want but we need you to do this anyway. For example, if you bid a stretch of 20 days off without vacation, pbs will say I see what you want but it's not gonna happen. Here, have this min credit 4am report four day instead!

Thanks

It's going to be about 7-10 months from first day of class until you get SEA. It's currently slightly more junior on the CRJ but that's a moving target while the E175s come online. I would tell a new hire from Seattle to take their chances on the E175 right now.
