I'm a new hire FO, just out of IOE and starting my reserve. I can speak for guys from my class because I just had this conversation with a bunch of them. They want to fly, they don't care where its out of and what airplane it is, but they want to fly and build hours. If things grind to a halt and we are stuck at the bottom of a pile sitting reserve forever I know plenty of guys that are going to split. There are bonuses everywhere. Horizon knocked on my door the other day with a fruit basket and bottle of wine. I know they were probably just trying to get into my pants, but at least they are willing to pay attention to me. If being stuck at the bottom of a pile not flying AND making minimum wage is the way it is around here, I'll take my type rating and split thank you. There is plenty of airlines out there that will love me for me! Sure I've put on a few pounds lately but still.....
