Not a troll. But as I advance I know what works and what doesn't. E jet drivers are more desirable. I'm glad I got in and it sucks that guys senior to me can't get on it now that they know it's desirable. But in a way it's good because it allows me build my time to upgrade and move on.

As a new hire on the 175 in ORD you can expect to sit and wait for IOE, then sit and wait until they realize you need 100 hours.... Then you will fly until you get 101. Then you will sit and sit and sit. Some I know have not flown in two months. Definitely budget for minimum guarantee.

If making a bunch of free money to never work is not your fancy, come fly the CRJ as a new hire, and they'll time you out, and your seniority will progress quickly as long as you're not constantly transitioning to more westerly bases every few months. I'm not joking. I'm serious. I've enjoyed my time here. It has been an excellent career move.

SJS? Is that when they assign you to the aircraft telling you it's the plane to go to and then you find out 8 months in it's really not? Yahhhhh it's a bad day when you are thinking about transitioning to the CRJ because you would like to fly more then a 3 day every 3 months

Things will change for the 175 guys. It's not going to always be this slow. You guys have a lot of flying that has not started yet.

When the senior F/Os who are currently being bypassed transition, all those SJS guys will get to experience the real SKYW reserve experience, 5 day TDY to MKE to sit reserve in a hotel, week after week, flying one or 2 legs once in a while, and wondering what happened. It would be funny if it weren't sad.

The crj isn't much lighter than the erj in chicago on the CA side. FO side is very heavy on ERJ, 48% odd coverage

... At the Renaissance...
... While the national college cheerleading championship was in town, and the girls all stayed at the Renaissance.
Those 5 days by the pool (interrupted by a quick SFO turn) were tough, I gotta tell you.
