How many hours does the average reservist pick up?
What is the junior base right now?
Is CVG really getting announced and will that go junior or senior?(guessing junior)
Once hired how long til jumpseat privileges start? after IOE?
Anyone interview lately have an idea what to expect?
Reserve time depends on what base and aircraft you are in. There are guys at envoy with 2 years of seniority holding a line on the CRJ in ORD.
They are hiring both into the CRJ and 145. if the amount of new hires stays consistent on the CRJ guys in class right now could sit reserve less than a year. There is a lot more hiring on the 145 but it is a larger fleet. If you do get the 175 reserve time could be even less if they put a lot of new hires in it. Reserve times are ever changing.
Reserve guys can do anywhere between 30 and 80 hours. Looking at the reserve list you can see both extremes. Some guys that live in base don't want to fly and some guys would rather just commute in and do one leg to the hotel. Some like to fly a lot.
You can get DFW or ORD out of training.
No CVG base. Might be another airline you are thinking about.
AA non-rev benefits I think are first day. Jumpseat I believe is the same. I got the jumpseat during a break during training.
Interview is three parts. Technical, sim, and HR. Tech is basic IFR and Jep knowledge. Sim is easy. VOR tracking, a hold, and an approach or two. The HR is like any other HR.
