Reserve is currently 4 years. However, FO's can not currently bid jet to jet so new hires will be getting the E175 shortly and it is a growing fleet type so time on reserve will be very short. Likewise, the expected time to upgrade is dropping rapidly and if their plans are accurate then if you are upgrading in roughly 2.5 years your time on reserve should be short.
I keep reading this statement that FOs can't bid the E175. I thought displaced FOs can bid the 175. With the closing of MIA and NY that makes a lot of FOs able to bid the 175. Now, is it just being displaced out of equipment? Or can a MIA EMJ FO displaced to ORD EMJ FO also bid the 175?
