Adding 5 E190's by years end. It will be included in the next bid. (This from a reliable source).

Where are these E-190's coming from? Republic? New?

There was an article in the USA today about how e jets are the greatest thing since youporn. And republic pilots are the only ones skilled enough to fly a plane with monkey bars.

This is the article crackho is referring to:

I hadn't heard about the 5 new jets but makes sense to me. I thought they'd wait until merger was yay or nay before making changes, but with the delay till the end of the year the managers hafta come up with some other busy work, and the training dept needs something to do also now that the 737's are on their way out. Only so many "safety audits" one can do and still look relevant.

No October system bid so at least part of that rumor is false.

How often are there system bids, typically?

Seems to run about every 3 months. It varies.

Thanks, didn't know if there was a contractual requirement or not. Anybody have any idea if the 7/16 class is still split Group2/E190?

the october part was indeed wrong but if you look at past bids they usually are posted 4 months prior to the effective date. ie the SEP2012 bid was posted May 18.

so any bid posted in mid July would have an effective date of NOV 1

in the past 5 years I don't remember any system bid in back to back months, at the least they will have 2 months between, usually 3.

I would plan on there being a bid for either Nov or Dec

 

[olympus593]

Don t know about the extra 190 was told by the chief pilot 4 weeks ago that they looked into it and decided not to buy them.

 

[JECKEL]

There is still a current job posting for E190 instructors so I guess they still need some extra guys.
The current posting closes July 12th.
