Even if you sit reserve for 5 months you'll still be building hours at Commutair before you even have a chance to sit reserve at another regional.
We're offering classes to new hire FOs that are in November. There's a backlog here just as much as other places.
I'm actually sorta surprised no one has stopped the new hire bonuses. Most places sound like they are full and unless they're being more selective (and C5 isn't selective at all), they can cut down on the bonuses and keep getting FOs.
