Where are you based? I was in the same situation, had a few months of lines my first year + months here. Maybe get a base change to where you can hold a line, or will that not matter? I really feel for you guys stuck on reserve, I know how much it sucks, especially if you're not flying.

All I'm saying is lets not get drunk on Kool Aide and shout from the hill tops how great it is... especially when the person is fresh off IOE. Silver is what it is. Not bad for some, pretty okay for others and horrible for a few. All those variations are pretty much tied back to personal situations and goals in the aviation industry. Yes the company has some issues, but name one that doesn't.

Lets just keep it in perspective and spread complete falsehoods on the internet to a minimum.
Silver is what it is, don't get comfortable and keep updating the resumes you have out there.

BTW, for my fellow Taco Bell fans, the Beefy Nacho Crunchy Burrioto is back!!!!!!!
