But I'm biased, I am here already.

When you see what a disaster it is to fly under the American system you’ll wish you weren’t.

Yeah, just wait. He's going to sound just like a thousand guys that have been dumped. "It was a mutual decision".

3) fairly easy to REQUEST to swap reserve days. Also fairly easy for them to deny that request.

When you say working to max part 117 are you referring to the flight or duty limitations? Like are they gonna keep flying you to 100 in the last 30 and 1000 in the last 12 or do you mean they are just gonna keep flipping around your reserve days but you'll never fly? Both miserable but I think one is much more tolerable than the other

I was instrument current when I was hired. I went to a local flight school and did an instrument proficiency check.
