I have a friend who has been with envoy 5 months now in the 145 and only flown 150 hours so I would like to avoid that if at all possible.. but I guess being on reserve can be hit or miss. Is this the typical hours I can expect to fly while on reserve or are there ways to fly more? I know it gets easier to fly as a lineholder but that will take 4-8 months (according to an earlier post). Thanks again.
You’re wayyy overthinking thinking this.
You have two options:
1) Want to fly lots; pick the growing fleet junior base.
2) Want QOL; pick the aircraft that will have you driving to work soonest.
It’s really that simple. There’s going to be peaks and troughs in flight time, glut of pilots or thin on pilots, all of which can’t really be predicted too well.
