1. How long would a new hire be in reserve?
2. How often would they schedule you for long call or short call reserve?
3. When does the schedule for bidding come out?
4. How many hours (high and low) can you fly in a month?
1. IAD 10 months. ORD 2-3 months. MKE 1 month or less. All from end of IOE that is.
2. Long call.....Lol. All short. Assignment around 1800-1900 CST night prior. If no assignment then a time your RAP starts. Reserves fly all the time so expect that.
3. Mid month the month prior. It closed and We got theJuly results this past Monday mid day (FO). Came out for bidding a week ago today. CA timeline the same but one week earlier each month.
4. Line holder I range from 60-80 block. Credit 85-120. A few months close to 140 credit with 85 block. Reserve was 50-60 block, 90-100 credit. Block is lower as reserves have more deadheads.
