Just at a glance, DCA reserve on the AA side is probably at least 5 years.
Wow, wasn't expecting that. With all the hiring going on/retirements, I thought it'd be a lot shorter than that! Thanks for the replies, guys.

Don't lose hope if you haven't heard in a week or two.
Not losing hope, just curious. You know how it is--every day that passes, you start to question more and more of your answers. Still cautiously optimistic. Thanks for the reply.

There's a few out there that are predominantly AA. Most are in Crystal City.

That hasn't really started yet, this is the calm before the storm.

190 FO in PHL looks like it's just a couple months of reserve. Pay is the same first year as the AB. MIA, LGA, and LAX, 737 and A320 look like less than 2 years of reserve. MIA 320 is probably the shortest stay on reserve on the LAA side.

Yes, short call one month, Then long call one or two months then straight to secondary line. By 5 months you'll be a primary.

Pay is the same on probation.
Bid off coming off probation. In a perfect world they'll withhold you so you'd be an E190 line holder(primary?), cranking out hours at AB pay.

I'm curious how this October bid is going to affect the Academy. Even though it's just going to be a standard vacancy bid, I imagine that a chain reaction of training events will occur as a result. We already seemingly have a full plate just keeping the recalls and small new hire classes going through, while keeping everyone current. I wonder how they'll keep classes going while getting these preference and entitlements all trained up?

The pay thing changes with our checks tomorrow. PBS is already here in ORD (and BOS and LAA DCA). I don't think there's a lot of difference in the way the trips look. There are some stupidly high block time and duty day pairings, but that was the case prior to PBS. Not accepting extensions and not allowing them to plan flights at unrealistic airspeeds will hopefully help them see the light after awhile. Who knows?

No clue on the 190.
