What are your reserve times like, I.e. Ready reserve, short call, long call.
Lastly, is Air Wisconsin the place to go if you need to fly your **s off for a short period of time to get some 121 time.
Ready reserve is pretty rare, but you have to be at the airport all day. Normal reserve is a two hour callout so it looks like you’d be ok in Charlotte. No long call. People are getting awarded lineholder status towards the end of training in CAE so you might spend a month on reserve if that continues to hold.
I’ve flown, on average, about 87 hours a month after OE.
