We have guys with 15+ years on reserve as DTW 900 captains (and not much better anywhere else) and I don't see that changing much.

As for FO, reserve could be just a month or two depending on what base you are in.

That's the problem at my current company. I had to get an extension for my consolidation period because the flying was so slow.

Back in my day (2007 hire), that was a great reason to go to the regionals. Now you see EVERY range of pilot getting picked up by majors. Flight time is no longer a large factor.

I wouldn't say it's no longer a large factor. I have a dc9 type 2200TT 420TPIC and crickets from everyone, including Allegiant. I'm not going to start feeling better until I get 4000+ TT

What the other guy said. Reserve is terrible here, and it's only getting worse. 10-16 years of service will buy you ready reserve if you happened to be on the butt bloched side. The only pilots preaching Endeavor are the ones awarded a seniority number. Endeavor is bassackwards.

Random question, does anyone know how scheduling works with guys that are in the military reserves? As far as having to do military drill a few times a month and 2 weeks a year?

You notify crew planning of your MIL dates and they will block them off your schedule.

Poor networking, no interest in Spirit, Allegiant, Frontier, Jet Blue aka holding out for a legacy, poor resume and or interview skills, too proud to attend a job fair or ask for recommendations. The list goes on and on. I've heard them all. But the majority of 15+ year regional pilots are still there because of laziness. Endeavor had what? 600 pilots not even go down for a free interview with Delta.
