We're voting on a new contract at Xjet but it's still balls compared to this.
Most jr lcr holder was a March '18 hire.

The increase in LCR to 30% means less open time.

Huh? Explain how... the contract states that available time needs to be provided to someone who requests it in open time before it is assigned to a reserve pilot. Most of the good open time is picked up on the 18th of the month prior anyways.

Only last minute overtime. They still can't assign it more than 72 hours out from show time to a LCR.

My priority with a regional airline is to get flight time. Can I fly 85 hours per month or more at Endeavor if I live in NYC? My goal is to time out before my first 12 months there.

As of now, no. Living in NYC, bidding first out, and picking up trips on days off would probably net you at most 50 hours, 60 on an amazing month. Definitely not 85. But, that could change depending on whatever our 2019 fleet plan turns out to be.

No. Even if you fly every legal day off, you won't fly enough at the bottom of the reserve list. I'm a March hire, and have less than 100 hours total, but I commute and don't work days off.

As a reserve pilot you will get about 20 hours block (and probably 15-20 deadhead, lol) during your 18 days of reserve (you’ll be off on about half of those 18 days), and then you can pickup from open time on your days off. If you’re intelligent with your bidding you can stack 10 consecutive days off and pick up 2 four day trips each worth about 20 block, though lots in nyc tends to underblock so you’ll probably fly it in 16 block hours. So about 35 a month for the 6 or so months you’ll be on reserve. NOTE: this method will block 35 a month but pay 135 a month. Endeavor has excellent opentime pickup and pay rules. Minimal restrictions on a reserve pilot picking up open time on days off as long as rest is sufficient.

If you can manage to drop reserve days (rare Green Day’s) and pickup open time on those days you’ll get more, maybe 60-70 at best assuming you drop half the reserve days.

Once you’re a line holder, roughly 9 months from doh and 6 months from the end of ioe, you will easily be able to block 95 a month and make 125-145 credit hours a month if you live to work. Possible to do better than 145 depending on how the irop / byd fairy hits you. Sometimes it works out in your favor.

You will have no problem hustling to get 1000 121 hours within the first 18-22 months at endeavor and pending upgrade times staying rapid, finish your upgrade ioe within 24 months from date of hire. Timing out and getting paid to not work a month here is tough due to the new 117 tracking method the company implemented. It’s tough to explain but basically your logbook and pay 1000 hours will only equal roughly 920 or so 117 hours... the 117 clock doesn’t tick til you start taxiing after pushback. Someplace like New York 1/5 of the total block time can be spent at the gate waiting for push clearance...
