3. Is it true that direct entry captains fly only 50% of the flying as captains
4. If you are a reserve direct entry captain , would the company use you as a FO if they need one ?
5. what is a realistic time for a new hire direct entry captain to get off of reserve?
Thanks in advance.
1. Nope, only FOs.
2. Not a chance, about 2 years as of right now to hold Den. But we do have a lot of captains leaving, so that might drop.
3. I was hired as a street captain in Feb and have only flown 1 trip in the right seat. Also had a line for June and July in STL.
4. Yes, all captains are dual qualified in both seats so it's possible.
5. Depends on what base. STL, RDU and possibly DTW is around 6 months. ORD is around 4 years to hold a line, DEN is around 3 years. Again we have a lot of movement, so those times will drop a bit, but no guarantees...
