Mostly interested in new guys that have had to deal with reserve and have recent experience with what I will be encountering. Thanks for the help! Looking to know about ease of finding crashpad, coummutability, and trip destinations.
Based on the number of opening after the last position bid I’m guessing you’d be off reserve sooner in SEA than LAX or SFO. SEA ended up with something like 85 FO positions to fill so those hired early in the year in SEA will have lots of new hires coming into the base behind them. With all of the training going on they will be tight on pilots in the Spring so expect to fly a lot at all bases while on reserve.
