One could always go work with ES-L.

I wouldn’t **** on that English POS if he was on fire. He destroyed a few good pilots’ careers at ZW.
I heard he got demoted at Piedmont. And they invented a new position for him.

I have a Sep training start date and hoping to get IAD as I live in DC. I'm ok with being on RSV for a while, but curious about flying hours. How many hours are typical for jr FO at IAD?

You should be able to credit 90+ without picking anything up. I was on reserve for 6 months and always credited over 90, I broke 100 twice. I was used every day if reserve.

New hires are getting all bases right now. IAD seems to be a senior FO base.

Not true, new hires are getting cae and mke. The most junior reserve FOs at iad and ord are feb hires. There might be one March guy in there.

Still not bad at all, it seems like at most a few months wait to get whatever base you want. With the long waits for sim time should have what you want by the time you finish training

Great, thanks for the insight...one follow-up: how much are you actually logging (do you call that "blocking")? Are you able to log over 75 actual flight hours? Would be helpful to know a range.

High 60's-Low 70's has been normal for me on reserve and I dont pick up much on days off.

Not sure what it's at now but I had 6 weeks between ground school and sims last fall.
