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...
Hello, Sounds as tho you fly at Mesa. Can I ask a couple of questions? I have a class date in Sept. How is the QOL for new FO that would need to commute to a junior base? I guess ORD & PHX is out of the question for a new hire. Any info on time to upgrade to Captain, or any aircraft orders? Any info on how many or how long Mesa plans to hire? Any info or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
