This would be from the perspective of someone hired earlier this year, and in reference to the time off reserve as of now, and with projected flow/movement. I used the union excel sheet that is red/yellow/green showing if you could hold a base and would have a hard line or reserve, so hopefully this is fairly accurate, I know a FEW people in my class in DFW EMJ got hard lines in AUG, all CRJ ORD got hard lines, all JFK EMJ got hard lines, all MIA EMJ got hard lines, ORD EMJ are on reserve, LGA CRJ are on reserve, LAX EMJ are still flowing to LAX, and LGA EMJ would be S1/S3. SJU ATR would be a hard line, not sure about MIA, I think RSV, and DFW ATR was a composite line. This is FEB 11 DOH.

Hopefully this helps someone.

And I realize the standard "anything can change between now and then" applies...
I would not use the information in the Interactive Alpa Excel Sheet for pourpose of base picking. Why? Easy...

I'm a Nov 2010 Hire, I was supposed to get a hard line in June (that what it said the alpa excel sheet in January). We are in August and I still don't hold a line yet.

Things changes from time to time, don't pick a base or equipment because rsv time will be "shorter". Guys in Feb Class have lines in the CRJ already in ORD, but in the last couple of classes there haven't been CRJ slots available. So the last couple of guys will be in reserve more time that they expected.

Pick the base and equipment in base of your necessities. NO or short commute should be your primary goal, even if you sit reserve for almost a year like me. BTW I'm in ORD EMJ, in the top 20 in the RSV list so I get almost whatever I want.
