About how long can a new hire expect to be on reserve before being able to hold a line in the typical newbie domicile/equipment assignments?

PHL/190 you might be looking at only a few Months.

LAA -

MIA 320 Intl - 400 numbers
LGA 737 D - 500
MIA 320 D - 600
LGA 320 D - 800
LAX 320 - 1500? Just combined D/I divisions

That's looking backwards. LAX might improve with greater than average growth. Post SLI LUS retirements will help improvement movement on the LAA side.

I'd plan on a year plus.

What about MIA, LGA, or LAX on the other new hire platforms?

Missed Slice's post. Is that a year plus for LAX or all?

LAX is hard to predict. 1500 numbers is two years minimum. A AB domestic guy held a line about 500 (?) numbers from the current new hires. But D/I are combined eff 1 March and there are a lot of international guys senior to him that are currently on reserve so trying to guess where the junior line holder will be is just a guess.

LAX is scheduled to be the growth spot of the airline. That's why I made the comment about rearward looking. Junior domestic AB trips have a lot of all nighter trans-cons to JFK(West coast flying has always suffered because of the time zone issue) so guys might bid reserve vs. getting stuck flying a bunch of all nighters. So trying to predict the future is tough.

And why it goes so junior can be deceiving. Junior MIA AB trips can be tough to commute to last I time looked. So are guys bidding reserve, and only commuting 4-5x, vs having a line that requires more commutes?

Seems video invites are trickling out. Are they waiting to see how many of the final remaining furloughs actually state to return in May?

Keep in mind that PBS reduces the amount of guys sitting on reserve as well. I was looking at the bid list from Delta's NYC 717 list and they only have a small handful of reserves.

Hey everyone! I was hoping I could get some advice on my current situation.

I completed the video interview in January 2015 and got the request for additional info several days later. But since then, I've heard nothing. With all the recent chatter about video invites and F2F invites going out, I'm wondering where I stand now in the process. Does anyone know if there are still people who did the video in January 2015 waiting to be interviewed? Is there someone who I can contact to find out what is going on?

I'm still hoping that I will get a call for a F2F interview. If any of you guys have an insider track, any info would be greatly appreciated.

1. Have you checked that your additional info email was sent back ?

2. Have you checked your spam/junk inbox? Guys have said that emails have gone there.
