You won’t be able to drop it all.
Reserve drop limits are currently a discussion point in negotiations; management wanting zero reserve drops and the union wanting drops allowed from days on the outside of blocks only, on one reserve “block” of days for the month. So neither side is pushing for the entire “drop the month of reserve.” Which is fine because it can’t be done anyways.
And then there is the nightmare of consolidation of knowledge which requires you to fly your 100 hours in 120 days, or back to the sim you go. And if you don’t have your consolidation of knowledge, you’ll be called out first on reserve on the days you can’t drop, all trying to get 100 hours in 120 days.
You can see where this is going...nowhere, fast.
Best of luck in your search but this won’t be the fit you seek.
Thank you. This clears up a lot. So I suppose commuting to reserve is impossible without a crash pad? I read you have 3 hour callouts and 11 hour callouts.
I am looking elsewhere but I'm thinking my lack of 121 time could be the problem. Of course I am also degreeless so that doesn't help much either.
