Jr manning happens all the time, you will be required to work on your days off. They always run short staffed.

Abx is losing flying most recently Atlanta. There are less and less line holders each month.

The last upgrades were well over a year ago and all the FOS who upgraded had 20 plus years with the company. There entire top half of the FO list has 20 years too. You will be waiting a long long long time to upgrade.

The union simply will not be caving to accept any concessions or ATI like contract. Management is ruthlesss here and this could be the final straw. They are going to continue to move flying elsewhere until it's all gone. And the pilots are prepared to retire or go elsewhere to work.

Reserve life is pure hell. There is no reserve "system" they can do what ever they please to you including 12 hour ready reserve at the airport with no limits, you will do alot of it! Be prepared to be on reserve for 2 years or more which will require a lot of out of pocket hotel rooms!

Even though they say they are paying for hotels and Per diem during training the union is filing a grievance and if successful you will pay for it on your own. Nobody here had it paid for and management simply doesn't care that nobody before you got it. Everyone else paid for it on their own and you will too!

Scheduling just cuts off trades when they feel like it with no recourse. Good luck on ever planning.

One bust in a type and it stays with you forever in your background check.

Why would you want to work for a place that doesn't care about pilots?

It's all threats, intimidation, no growth, out dated contract. The president brags about how many pilots he has furloughed in his career!

You said your going to commute? No KCM here and the commute clause requires you get to cvg 6 hours before you sign in with 2 flights off line. In the system you can do 1 flight but that's limited and losing flying doesn't help. Ask everyone commuting from atl.

Seriously there are much much better places to work. Every 151 is looking elsewhere and some senior folks.

Anyone who would come to a place that doesn't appreciate pilots must have trouble getting hired at a real airline!

Amazon yeah right they hate abx because of the strike. Even if it takes off just Google news articles they say it could be 2025 until cvg is built out and there is no guarantee abx will be here to do any of the flying when ATI is full of pilots with no self worth willing to do it for RJ pay!

Good luck being a new FO and you decide to take the job. You can sit there for 5 hours on the flight and stare at the panel. And when you get back you can sit for 12 hours in cvg on reserve and think why in the heck didn't you listen to peer advice!
