Right now about 6-7 months to a line but I would think that many new hires will now be on the Emb as there were quite a few moving from Emb to Airbus on the last system bid.
I think they had about 80 reserves total(?) on A320 JFK for February, so I would assume that is about the number it takes to hold a solid line. Too many if you ask me. Guys hired 3-4 months ago got Hybrid Lines for February, but they were pretty crappy, the move up lines went more senior. A lot of people hired 2 yrs ago are moving from E190 to Bus this year, so for anyone hired last few months and currently on Bus will be on reserve much longer than 6-7 months.
JFK E190 is shortest reserve time right now.
