Of course, but will new hires see that? Maybe, I don't know the answer.

Thanks for the responses. It looks like they really need to keep a number of airframes on property and alot of new bodies.

Hell, new hires can hold ATL 7ERB if the company ever gives the unbid positions to new hire classes.

Thanks

for those reading, this mind set is very narrow visioned. Pay rates don’t always equal better pay. I gained much faster seniority on the 88 than my peers on the ER or 73. Despite the lower pay rate, I held a line faster and was able to get green slips while they had neither and sat reserve. Guess who could make more working equal or less?

There’s just too much hiring for that. Disclaimer: Each NH is obligated to look at the playing field, numbers, and do their own research.

As a NH awaiting class date, where would I be able to look at numbers before indoc?

You can make way more as a line holder doing green slips but you really have to do a lot of flying you can makes in my opinion a little bit less on reserve doing Greenslip’s if you’re not rolling thunder but you usually don’t have to work anywhere near as hard.
