So with the 5 ERJ's C5 has... I am curious to know what routes they are doing in it right now. How long is reserve currently for the ERJ? Wondering if I will need a crash pad in IAD or if the 4-6 commuter hotels will cover it. Also, any chance C5 will be switching to an EFB anytime soon?

Adding 2 planes a month starting in October you should expect little to no reserve on the jet.

We have 5 jets on property but only 3 aircraft lines of flying so far. The 4th starts sep 1. Jet destinations now are CAE SAV SYR ROC ALB BUF
We added a bunch of jepps the south and west so we'll see what we get.

Thet met with Jeppesen to discuss the EFB. They keep telling us the end of the year.

C5 Pilots. What are our jump seat rules for international travel? Example departing MBJ to ORD on UA.
Can we ride flight deck jump seat on such a route?

In the sept 6 class too, and the email I got from recruiting still referenced the class splitting after indoc based on airframes. Hope I'm not wasting my time studying these dash limitations.

Still trying to figure out if reserves can pick up open time, would make commuter life easier

There are only a handful, but they are great individuals.

Thanks for the fast replies...is it possible to get IAD out of training on either frame? Hows the overnight quality in terms of length/hotels? Sorry for 50 questions just trying to do as much research as possible.
