Can someone on property provide an idea of the reserve times for a new FO? And also where are new FOs getting assigned for their first base? (Website shows LAX assigned to 12/2016 FOs with Seattle requiring about 3 months longer seniority - true?) Has that 'excess FOs' and 'no reserves flying' problem worked itself out from a few months ago?

I was leaning towards Horizon recently but after today's news, now reconsidering Compass as the best choice to start my aviation career. Gotta decide but there's too many moving parts!

Thanks,

I would estimate that it's 3-4 months for a new hire right now. Maybe 5 at the most. SEA is a whole different animal though. Probably 8-9 months maybe? Of course it will get better with attrition...hopefully. This is the regionals after all.

If I'm on reserve and pick up a seat support for critical pay shouldn't that pay above guarantee? Thats how I'm reading it in the contract but my pay in rainmaker is not showing it above guarantee. I there something I'm missing?

Reserve time will be going down, but if you've been following the main Compass forum (Compass Updates - Saga Continues)... the company is threatening to take people's vacation away and treating the contract like toilet paper.

The real problem with the company threatening to revoke vacation time is we might eventually be understaffed to the point of breaching our agreements with DL and AA who own our aircraft. If we cannot fulfill it, toys will be taken from us and placed at another regional that can attract talent.
