No whining. Just trying to figure out what the current situation would be for a new hire, since this seems to be changing rapidly everywhere. Obviously two or three months paid time off is great, but the problem is with what comes after that. With an 11 day off schedule are you reserve or a line holder? On the 175 or 145? Does anyone in any base holding a line get more than 11 days off at this point, as was typical in the past, or are even the senior guys getting trash schedules? I get the 145 schedules, if that's what you fly, are never going to get better, but I was hoping that eventually on the 175 things would get better. And yes, I know going to class is like playing Russian Roulette where one class is going to end up with 145s at some point even though they're trying to focus on hiring for the 175.
