What is reserve like as a new hire? Im in PDX, but from what I can see I would be SEA based initially since PDX is a little senior. The commute up to SEA is easy enough, but if on reserve, what would that look like and how long to be off reserve?

the Pdx sea commute is a pain so many commuters and the first flights to cancel when things hit the fan

PDX went to new hires not long ago. Shouldn’t take long to hold it. As far as reserve out of SEA I don’t know. Might be less stressful to drive, the 2.5 hour call out might be cutting it a little close for comfort though.

No problem. My grandfather had a massive aortic aneurysm that ruptured, with no signs. Sudden and fatal. That was in 1943. My dad was on a ship to Europe with his outfit. He was not able to get back for the funeral.

Just wondering if there's an update to Junior bases? Still looking like SEA LAX and PDX?

The bid closes the 16th or 20th. Then we will know for sure how bad it will be.

Bid closed yesterday… the damage is already done. We will know how bad by the 19th.

SFO more than likely will be going junior.

Agreed. It’s the wildest card in a deck full of jokers

Somewhat, although it isn’t unheard of to be offered to newhires. If you don’t get it initially, it should be attainable within a few months out of training.

I wouldn’t count on getting it in ground school. However, in the last bid October hires were able to hold it, and there were about a dozen FO vacancies.
Those prior FO vacancies in ANC are long gone, will have to see what it looks like in future bids.
