After you do get a line, you can, AND WILL, be pulled off it and put back on reserve. It’s one of the biggest complaints and issues here but they don’t listen nor care! THEY WILL EFF WITH YOU! DO NOT believe anything recruitment tells you OR what they come and tell you in indoc, it’s all lies! Yeah, I’m ****ed off now.

In addition, the operation is a mess and is not getting better. The A220 delays continue as it’s a piece of junk. You will be very frustrated EVERY BLOODY DAY you come to work. You’d regret it quickly. Quite frankly I think the airline is in trouble. It’s so dysfunctional on every level and every Tuesday we get a bag of BS from management. The 401K, the ridiculous PLAYBOOK, Buddy passes, PBS and the list goes on, “we’re working on it”!

They honestly think charter is going to save them but it too will be a mess. The EJet crews just got hosed HARD and it’s gonna backfire on them BIG TIME!

Take all the opinions on here and do what’s best for you but I would I no way give up home basing to commute to reserve at an unprofitable start up or anywhere for that matter. Wait for your upgrade and enjoy YOUR days off. You’ll have to commute on your 12 days off here and you will be miserable. You’d really need a crashpad (Good God) or an apartment and transport.

Good luck
