If you want to be a quick captain here, I would measure reserve in years...

 

You’ll probably get a interview at a major before you see a line as a fast upgrade. At least that what I’m planning on, upgraded this late summer quickly.

 

16 CR2s are leaving (3 already have), leaving a fleet plan of 42 CR2s on property. They needed the incremental lift, to replace the S5 E145's as they left, is why they came out of IGM.

 

Yes, anything you pick up is paid out separately from your guarantee.



No

 

Bottom line is there's just no way to project this. We're in a huge amount of flux, with 40 odd new (to us) Dual Class Aircraft, MSP 200 demise and ATL opening.
There are a number (at least 100) of 900 FOs who could upgrade. Many like the 19-20 days off lifestyle; and the TA makes that perhaps even more attractive.
At the bottom of the Seniority list are the Whiskey & ExpressJet folks who made the jump who will be bumped back down by everyone that upgrades.
Both NYC and ATL will see substantial growth; and we're still loosing 25-35 a month; primarily to Delta.
Reserve here isn't a bad gig. CS are somewhat flexible (unless we're in an IROP) and assign duty several days ahead of time.
in 18 months here i haven't regretted the move away from a 'Flow' once.
YMMV, and I live in base, but I find it hard not to crack a smile on the way to work..

Remember a positive attitude and a smile are not allowed on APC.

 

😜 I’ll ASAP my demeanor

 

Yeah get the pitchforks out!!

 

This ^^^^
I recently got called out for being positive on here. Now, I try not to post unless I am sipping on Apple cider vinegar water.

 

Living in base is a huge part of that good attitude. So important in this biz.
