I never picked up OT and ultimately tried to avoid flying except for the last month (needed to buy Christmas presents). I've heard of guys getting off rsv quick and making 50-60k their first year. I think that's possible but you'd have to live in base and work a lot.
With current hiring projections, how long does everyone anticipate a 2017 new hire to sit on reserve in DEN or ORD?
Also, is there any legitimate hope that you guys will get a new contract with better pay rates in 2017?
Thanks for all the replies.
