I could be off, but every month is different....somewhere in between they added a 10k bonus, then took it away, then raised the first year pay, added the hotel rooms, etc - Some months there were very few upgrade slots - and then towards the end of the year we went from a backlog of about 50-60 pilots in training to about 100 at any given time. I don't know for sure if it's going to be 4-5 months of reserve, but based on what I've seen and heard, it might top off at 4-5. We have such a huge backlog of pilots in training and now a ridiculous amount of reserves, as of just a month or two ago (we went green almost every day for the first time) - so, we'll see. I hope it's less of course.

Well if they start upgrading 24/month like they said they would instead of 12 then rsv will drop fast!

Thinking about getting back into flying after being out for a while and compass is one of the companies that I am interested in. Couple questions that I have.
1. With Lax and Sea being junior, if you were given Sea out of training and wanted Lax would you have to wait a certain period to switch bases, or do you just bid to it?
2. How long until you can hold a line in Lax?
3. Commuting from Phx, with the 4 days hotel a month, would it be possible with a line to not have to have crash pad?
Thanks in advance!

From what I hear from LAX-PHX commuters, there's a lot of them but there's a lot of flights(especially when you consider ONT, SNA, BUR as undesirable but functional backup options). No commute is ever fun or 'easy'. Worst case scenario, it's a 5 1/2 hr drive.. not a terrible backup option during spring break or something. I'd probably start out with a crash pad at first and for a new hire today tough to say if reserve in LAX would be 2 months, 3 months or 5...?
