That's a pretty big difference. The arbitrator looks at the industry to make the decision. Since the rest of the industry is in the crapper, XJT got dragged in too. You can't fault the XJT guys for the industry sucking.

My point was not blaming XJT it was just another example of how all regionals are guilty to some extent.

So how is XJT guilty to any extent given that the rates were imposed on them?

Anyone on the EMB hear that all new hire classes, until obviously the sim phase, will be held in Houston now? I don't know how the company had been running them (EMB in IAH and CRJ in ATL, or CRJ/EMB in Atlanta until a certain point then separate training environments), but hearing rumblings that CRJ new hires will do the initial new hire circus in Houston starting soon.

That is how it sounds to me. Sounds like you won't know what airframe you are on till indoc is over.

Yeah, between posting that and checking I was able to get a confirmation from a CRJ training source. Training had no idea until yesterday. Currently two separate classes are scheduled, but within the next few day they may merge them into one an send everyone to Houston.
Crew planning and crew training scheduling is gonna have a field day trying to figure all of this out...lol

Ouch, that hurts. I hope what they mean though is, all indoc will be in Houston until everyone splits off. I was under the impression they were hiring 20/month on the CRJ for the remainder of the year.

I think they are having issues getting people to come to the EMB classes. The class behind me only had 8 show up. I think they had a lot more scheduled to be there. Everyone showed up in my class and caught them off guard.

My guess is everyone wants the ERJ now the EMB is a different story. My understanding talking to people on both sides of the company is the QOL is about the same at first but can get a lot better on the CRJ side of the house quicker. Also some people like the CRJ bases better. ATL/DTW/DFW/IAD vs 7 bases for the EMB side.

Because they could fly a CRJ 700 or 900!
Personally I went after the side with the better bases(for me) and contract. Also more hiring on the EMB side means a potentially faster line.
It may also be the fact that they got picked up somewhere else that worked better for them. I know one guy that will be commuting from Hawaii. Then again he was doing that at his previous airline as well.
Why he decided to commute to the east side of the US is beyond me.From what I understand the work rules for the EMB side are better but scheduling is better with ASAs PBS.
The info I have is limited (and possibly wrong), however it is applicable as it would be closer to what potential new hire would be looking at.

Yeah, the "folks not showing up for classes" seems like the most plausible explanation.
This will certainly solve that problem, otherwise - no job.
We have hired just about a 1000 pilots total since the merger was announced, so that's above cushion for all of us on property before the horror show began.
