Reserve time / time for domiciles
Most of the information I've seen in the last 6 months or so seems to indicate that time on reserve and time to hold one of the 3 domiciles were generally equal but I've spoken to a few buddies recently saying otherwise.
I'm considering Compass if reserve time is short (1-3 months) and time to hold PHX is short (also 1-3 months).
If anyone can confirm or deny I'll offer free back rubs. Or front rubs.
Cheers.

It really depends on when you're hired. My or anyone else's experience may or may not be your experience. I spent a month on reserve in LAX after being hired last summer. Same things goes with classmates in SEA. If you want PHX, the junior guy is 8 months, lineholder 10 months. After last year's hiring rate, who knows what will happen with new hires.

Guy in my class (my sim partner) got PHX before he was off IOE and had a line about 5-6 weeks later, but who knows today? We have roughly 670 pilots though and we lose on average maybe 20 a month to attrition so do the math. With 335 FO’s systemwide that’s an increase in seniority of 20/335ths or roughly 6% per month to keep steady state. So in 8 months people have been right around 50% for most of the last year. YMMV, because everything is driven by hiring at the majors on one end recruitment on the other, but for right now that’s ballpark. I believe SEA is most junior domicile driven by housing costs. I think It also has the most commuters - seems that way anyhow, probably for the same reason.
And, uh,...you can keep the rubs.

Hired in June 2018, finished training in July. Awarded SEA like most other new hires and had a build up line there in October. Then awarded LAX in November (reserve of course). Got PHX December and have been sitting reserve ever since. That’s 4 months of reserve so far and I won’t see a line for probably another 6 months.
The FO list hasn’t been moving much in PHX, but people hired in early May have a line right now. It all depends on your timing. A home base isn’t everything either, I fly 20-50 hours and end up sitting at home 15-25 days per month.
Depending on your situation that could be amazing or if you want hours to upgrade eventually not so amazing. I will say QOL having this kind of time off is pretty amazing and if you prefer to get paid not to work PHX reserve is the spot for you.

LAX
IOE - Feb
Build Up - March ( 3 trips, 4 days of reserve)
On a side note in IOCC do we have access to see what’s in open time when we’re on a buildup line. I haven’t been able to get it to display anything.
