12. You’ll be on reserve with minimum days off most likely until FOs junior to you in class begin to upgrade or more DECs get hired after you. If you’re at the beginning/middle of the DEC wave it wouldn’t be too bad movement wise, but if you’re on the last half or one of the last few hired as a DEC when they shift back to hiring 1500 pilots then you’ll see the bottom of that list and a lot of airport standby for years potentially.
