If you are at a company that is limited to the number of airplanes that it operates, or has a finite amount of flying, then you are correct.
That is not the case at PSA.
Time on reserve is tied directly to the number of people behind you. PSA will operate as many aircraft as we can staff. Once you have a sufficient number of people behind you to cover the reserve spots, you will be holding a line.
There were lots of people hired in 2014 that sat reserve for 3 months or less. That was because we were filling classes and taking delivery of new airplanes. 2017 will be much like this again.
I know many people that have spent less than 3 months on reserve.
