I'm a February hire and it took 5 months to get through to the end of soe for me. We had break in the middle of ground, 2 months wait for sims, then a 2 week wait for SOE. I believe the delays have been greatly reduced or don't exist any more.
When will street hires go to the 145?
Maybe soon'ish? With the start of Dash retirements they might be able to continually fill the jets with current Dash guys, but who knows. As it is, junior jet FO is a Jan '16 hire now.
What is reserve time looking like.
A couple guys from my Feb class look like they might hold a hard line in MDT for next month. Still a bit longer to hold a line in the other bases.
Have schedules improved at all? I know this used to be a hot topic on this thread. Are schedules at all commutable?
Any educated guesses as to when PDT will have to set up shop at a second hub base and any idea where it may be (I asked this question a few weeks ago on here.... Just curious if there are any new developments or rumors)?
Any other pertinent info for a potential new hire would be appreciated. I turned down PDT once... I don't think I'll do it a second time. Unless something miraculous happens and my IAD base is saved, looking forward to coming over.
- Still mostly 11 day off lines with 4-day trips/2 days off; I'm not a commuter, though.
- As for the other stuff, the answer is just like the incoming iPads - "Soon!!!!!" or "Free iPads Tomorrow!"
