Current length of time on reserve is inexcusable and otherwise what BL says.
The 2.5 and 6 is still being pushed by the company. While the vast majority of us raise the BS flag regarding the feasibility of those numbers, it is technically possible - and remember, they only need one flow selection group to hit that mark for it to be true. They could be bracketed by 3 year upgrades and 7 year flows. Currently ENY is planning on hiring 400 next year. If they can achieve this goal it's going to be good to be a new hire at ENY. Problem being, like everyone knows, there's a shortage of hireable pilots, so unless there's a merger (bad for stagnation) or another carrier fails and dumps pilots on the market it's going to be tough to pull pilots in.
We're overstaffed, so pilots flowing off the top should result in better schedules and higher time lines for everyone.
