Hello,

New to the forum.

Early Summer 2015 class date

DFW CRJ FO

I have bid a line every month after I completed training. As far as how I bid- I request no specific days off and select same day pairings or whatever the lingo is on the antiquated bid system. For people who do not understand what this means, I essentially tell the company they can assign me any schedule they like.
Importantly, the result is, I have never received a line.

As it looks going forward I am not likely to get a line until hopefully March.

I sit ready reserve at DFW an average of approximately 9 days per month. There are 40 or 50 (haven't counted in awhile) people junior to me on the DFW seniority
list.

January I flew less than 16 hours.

I have less than 300 hours in the airplane.

I want to fly but fact is that I sit at the airport on ready reserve.

All of my classmates have had a very similar experience thus far.

Additionally, the majority of the hotels we stay in are completely unacceptable.

My reason for posting this is to simply provide an accurate current pilot's experience at Mesa .
