RSV times are fluid and base specific. I'd expect them to increase drastically with CHQ pilots moving over to RW. That said, I think S5 RSV could be stable, but with no movement off the certificate they could stagnate again.
So I'd plan on 6 months or more. RSV here sucks unimaginably, especially if you don't commute.
Rick Dubinsky just gave the company unlimited 16hr days for RSV pilots in the new TA. You better hope the 117 rules still count RAP as duty in the future...
Is reserve a long time for the Q400 new hires as well? My understanding is that Republic is having a tough time staffing those.
Q400 senior FOs are all June 2012 hires. With the current shrinking of Chautauqua, upgrades here will continue to be 6-7 years. If you got hired on the Q today, you would have to wait until the senior FOs upgrade before you would see movement. You will end up as a junior reserve pilot until then. Make sense?
