I feel like this is the hardest thing to get through to New hires. Our reserve system is one of the worst in the country...if you come here thinking you will just be making captain pay at home while you sit rap, think again. You will be assigned airport standby everyday for 19 to 20days a month..

Now that we are officially out of qualified FOs the junior manning will begin for captains again. So dont be surprised to do 5 days in a row of airport standby then get an overnight on your last day and be junior manned into your already so little amount of days off...

Also just when you finally get senior enough on the reserve list to sit a few RAPs at home, one of our current FOs who are building there time will be forced to upgrade and then be above you pushing you back down on the reserve list again. Seriously think before you come here.

Now if we miraculously come out with an Amazing TA with a new industry leading reserve system and excellent competitive payrates then I would ask you to reconsider. Being a Line-holder here isn’t bad at all, in fact I like working here, however our pay and reserve system is extremely lacking...compared to what’s out there. Don’t let one year of bonuses fool you. It says something about the company’s character if they are only willing to give these bonus’ to new hires and not guys who have been flying these airplanes for years (<<<those guys, just get ripped out of there current bases/lifestyle and sent to NYc and Chicago unwillingly)
