It is impossible to tell. If you get hired at the end of a wave of hiring then you will be on reserve until they start hiring again. Generally it is better to be at the front of a wave so you only sit reserve for a month or two. Newark is a good base if you live here but commuting can be a challenge. I think this next round of hiring will be a slow but steady stream of new hires every month until majors ramp up hiring where the flood gates will open.
This new system we have of basically having the secondary bid as a PBS style award might create more relief lines. The company is currently playing with reserve %'s and #'s of relief lines so it is hard to pin down.
