How long is reserve right now at Charlotte, Chicago or Washington? I’m guessing it has been pretty long, but with all the new hires this time should come down, right? Is Mesa still low on FOs like they were this spring?
Answers :
80-90 pilots so far ? Yes, Yes, and Yes it will continue into 2014.
Reserve is super short (1-2mo.) with most new hires already having lines in CLT and IAD. Very few pilots make it to Hawaii for their mini vacays
before they can hold IAD or CLT as a base.
ORD and PHX have senior FO's on Reserve.
Excluding PHX all other bases remain short on reserves.(RedLine)
Typical lines are from 88 to 98 hour lines. Incentive flying (200%) and JRA's happening intermittently...
