Reserve
 

Hello all,
How long is RSV on the 175? And how long is the upgrade on it currently please? With and without prior 121
Thank you

RSV has been running about 3-4 months last I heard. Most JR 175 CA award is a December 2015 hire. ORD is opening a 175 base too so expect that to shuffle all the times on the 175 up. If you have 1,000 hours 121 domestic time, you can upgrade almost immediately on the 145.

Thanks for the info. Would you be sitting RSV long as an "immediate" 145 CA? Do you have Equipment lock?
I'm typed in all 3 equipments and have over a1000 121 and like many people I know would rather wait to flow in the left seat of the 175..

You'll be reserve for awhile because every month you'll be getting pushed down the list by those who are getting their 1000 hours and upgrading. Seems like you'd flirt with getting off and then get pushed down every month. You're equipment locked for a year.

RSV would be a few months in LGA and MIA. They are going to grow both of those bases next year which will keep things moving. You'd be on RSV a very long time in the 175. Once the deliveries stop it will stagnate.

If you come to Envoy with prior 121 time you are a street Captain. Literally. We run upgrade bids every 2-3 months and you'll get it right out of the gate. As long as you are open to any equipment/base.

make sure you read this thread dont want you to only listen to certain people

Thank you all for your input. How often are you used on RSV? CA and FO
and I guess the big question is, How "guaranteed" the flow to AA really is?

And what happens to the signing bonus in this scenario?

In ORD and DFW, reserves are used nearly constantly. I think it's less in LGA, and MIA just opened today, so there's no precedent as of yet. The act of flowing is guaranteed, the actual date you flow is not, as evidenced in class cancellations in Sept. and Oct.
