Right around the time you're able to bid off, you'll be able to hold good trips and have some of them taken away for training (with pay.) It's an easy airplane to learn and fly. The only real drawback is there is only a PHL base, though there are rumors of DCA happening soon, and the lack of variety in flying.
My classmates that took the A-320 out of training (June 2014) are all still on reserve. Only DCA can hold long call. PHL and CLT are on short call.
It appears that on the AA side only A-320 MIA can expect to get off reserve in any reasonable amount of time.
Can you still make Capt in a year on the 190?
