The longest I heard of before you was 1 year. I was told that if you are in the pool u well get called...unless off course they dissolve the pool...but that is not happening with the pilot shortage we have now.

Any thoughts/suggestions from the vets, for a rookie on this topic? TIA.
Done it twice in the little over nine years I've been here. Never been a problem.

Re: Passport
ORD is also a great option if you have a long overnight. They take appointments online and it only takes a few hours to get it back. It's in the federal building just off the blue line downtown.

A few pilots have confirmed they also heard that from mgmt pilots during road shows.
