(By "normal" line holder, I mean someone who held a line without MIL leave, Vacation, etc.)
Having said all that - there were 72 normal lines and 40! reserve lines built for MSP 88B in September. That means you had to be in the top 64% to hold a regular line
- I don't see that kind of ratio lasting long term (I hope!). I know the numbers for the category look really good going forward but it has been a frustrating few months as the base has been built up. Can you tell I'm ready to be done with reserve?
The same thing happened to 765 and 777 guys while their new bases were ramping up which is why some people choose to wait a bid before pulling the trigger on new categories.
For new hires trust me. MSP88 and NYC88 will be safe picks if those bases work for you.
You'll probably have to hang in there for another month or two Dash...the good news is there are guys in class now slotted to be placed below you and with the looks of the Oct 6th drop ( and all the vacancies still left open on the aircraft) that trend will continue.
