No matter how good the commuter policy is, this is a huge turn off when I can go to RPA and avoid that scenario altogether.
Fake news... review the other thread that has actual dates of most junior reserve pilots and lineholders in other bases. It’s much less than a year. Quoted from there for your convenience:
JULY
Base/Aircraft/DOH Junior Pilot/ DOH Junior Lineholder
ATL/200/Mar18/Dec17
ATL/900/Oct17/May17
DTW/200/Mar18/Dec17
DTW/900/Jan18/Sep17
MSP/900/Jan18/Aug17
NYC/200/NH/Dec17
NYC/900/NH/Sep17
Bear in mind training takes 3 months. So for example, most junior ATL 900 FO is 6 months post IOE.... DTW 900 3.
