My opinon? Please just shut up and go away. I've been here 1 year and 8 months. Been holding a line for the past 2 months. Simple math says a new hire FO will be on reserve for about 1 year and 6 months.

CA reserve time is basically endless, for now at least. However the subject here is clearly not CA side reserve. It's FO reserve.

SO, reserve time? Not endless and not 3+ years. Longer than some other regionals? Yes. Better place to be than some other regionals? Yes. My seniority number has changed by over 40 numbers over the past 2 months, so obviously something is happening. Judging by the fact that all of those that left were captains and senior FO's, I'd call that "something" good. Also, hiring has picked up pretty good. Are some of you going to continue to be disrespectful towards our new hires and keep implying/calling them stupid, ignorant, and the like? Get a d@mn life and find something less immature to do like help get the door closed on time.

Broken promises? Big deal. ALL the airlines break promises. Standard operating procedure. Stop whining and get over it.
