Subject: ExpressJet to open ERJ crew domiciles at DEN, IAD and MCI
I expect many of you will be pleased that we have decided to open new ERJ crew domiciles at Denver (DEN), Dulles (IAD) and Kansas City (MCI). Opening these domiciles is a result of the need to redistribute existing crews to better serve our United network needs, and we anticipate the primary crew reduction in ORD. United?s commitment to ExpressJet continuing to serve these markets means that opening these domiciles makes good business sense, and will provide greater support for our crew members and fleet.
There are a number of details that remain to be finalized, but I can share these key details with you today:
 Approximately 80 crews for DEN, 70 crews for IAD, and 80 crews for MCI will be needed;
 A system bid will be posted by the end of May; and
 All three domiciles are scheduled tentatively to open Friday, Aug. 31, 2013.

What does that mean for the CRJ base in IAD?

I dont think this means anything for the CRJ base in IAD.

Supposedly all this is for is to relieve staffing issues in DEN and IAD.

The MCI base, supposedly, as has been rumored for a few years, is due to the fact that we have 10+ airplanes that overnight there and we have like 40+ crews per day staying there. Thats a lot of hotel rooms.

ORD WILL shrink, although I highly doubt it will shrink by the 230 crew number that this announcement shows.

DEN will probably go senior. No clue about MCI or IAD.

I also think this is to get ready for flight time/duty time come January where they cant just "schedule for 12.5 and extend to 15.5" whenever they damn well want to. Going to need a fair number of reserves just sitting around in the various hubs for times when the SHTF.

[veneratio]

I think it will reduce IAH and ORD

The ual crjs will go away with the end of the contract in 2015 unless the -200s are exchanged for something else.

Great, CRJ & ERJ pilots sharing a crew lounge in IAD. I dare anyone to say "PBS".

Happens every van ride to or from the hotel. ERJ guys just can't help themselves

We already share that crew lounge.

We already share that crew lounge.

I've gotten along with every XJT crew I've run into there. And every van ride.

It seems there are just a few on the Internet constantly stirring the bucket trying to instill dislike towards each other.

We all want the same thing.

You haven't me the ERJ crew I shared a van with a few weeks ago. After we got to the van we waited 15-20 minutes for them rather than leave them. They didn't bother to say thank you.

They wouldn't speak to us in spite of one of my fa's trying to be friendly to them.

Standing a the desk checking into the hotel I looked the FO square in the eye (CA was avoiding eye contact with us) and asked if they had a good day. Guy just looked through me like I wasn't even there and didn't say a word.

I'm sure you can imagine the emotions L-XJT crews could illicit by coming on here and posting all of their van stories about us.

Incidentally, I haven't had a bad encounter with any of them.

 

[Clutch]

Not me. Every single can ride. It's pleasantries followed by a bitch session and me tuning that sht out

Stop talking to other crew while on the can. That could be your problem right there.

That would be an IAH crew. Don't feel bad. They do the same thing to their own fellow crew members.

I wouldn't expect the Q-400s to be around much longer either, if you work for RAH...
