The bottom of the list sees some movement because a lot of the reserve guys transfer around trying to commute to hold lines in different bases. If you want to sit as the plug on reserve in SLC for 3+ years you can get in there, but don't expect a line for a long time.

Since there's no movement on the captain side those FOs aren't going anywhere so everything stagnates.

What's LAX like for a new hire on the Jet.

Busy, LA has been shorthanded for a few months now. The bottom reserves are breaking guarantee pretty much every month. Holding a line is a ways off as all the bro transitions and senior pilots transfer in.

I made more money 2nd year on the brasilia as a lineholder than I would have made on the jet even when the pay scales were different.

ORD right out of training should be simple. They just put out the transfer list for April and they have 10 FO openings in ORD. Most of the current new hire class will likely go there.

I wish we had this Brasilia setup when I was hired. I would have begged for the bro! I was grateful for the RJ just because of the pay but now I have been mega junior for over 6 years on the RJ with no upgrade in sight. When it does get in sight it will be on the Brasilia which I have never flown which makes me hesitant.
