Actually I just heard one of our junior FAT EMB CA's got approved for a year off.

We are fat on EMB captains (at least in Fresno). We are very short on EMB FO's (again, in Fresno). I think something like 9 FO reserve lines to 30 or so captain reserve lines. Probably more FO's taking the LOA's, at least that's what it seems. At least 3 of the FO's I used to fly with are on LOA's, only know of a couple captains that took it. Still, I gotta agree that it will probably be close to two years before any classes are run. I've been bidding the same number (actually went down about 5 slots when MRY closed) for well over a year now, where I used to move up at least 5 slots a month back in the day, I miss those days.
