Flight and Reserve Time
Another long time lurker making my first thread. A little info about me... Young, single, no commitments anywhere, from the northeast. Considering AWAC as well as others. I'm curious how long the time is estimated to be for reserve in ORD, MKE, and CAE. Also, how many actual flight hours are current pilots seeing per month. I care less about QOL than just getting my time and moving on. Also don't mind commuting- I've only been home about 4 weeks since March with my current job.

Reserve times will vary. CAE is junior so be prepared to waste a good chunk of your paycheck on commuter hotels for awhile. Probably close to a year to get off reserve in Chicago, MKE significantly less and I’d wager some people will never sit reserve in CAE. Same story once you upgrade, although I’d write off ever getting lineholder CA in ORD or IAD.

The world is your oyster with extracurriculars here. You basically have your pick as long as you meet their standards, which is not a given.

Be aware that going down that road can result in a dramatic reduction in your flight time.
