Have you been actively avoiding flying then?
Shouldn't you hold a line easily at 10 months?

Depends on base.
ORD, DFW, MIA the answer to that is "No" to the best of my knowledge.

No lines under 12 months except in NY on the 145 and we never fly on reserve.

I have about 140 hours in 11 mos, and I have been doing all kinds of stuff to get more hours besides staying in NY which I obviously should have done.

I've talked to a lot of FOs bidding back to NY just for that reason.

No I’m not avoiding flying. Some months on reserve you touch the plane only a handful of times.

Anyone that was hired in November 2017 give or take a month could easily have less than 200 hours of flight time. They had 2 reserve pilots for every line pilot in ORD for months. They nearly had 200 reserve pilots in ORD and only about 90-100 lines. Guys we're having trouble consolidating their 100 hours after IOE. They sat for 6-10 weeks without flying at all. This likely won't happen going forward but it did happen and is still negatively affecting our pilots. It is most negatively impacting our DFW pilot group.

It blows my mind how short sided management can be when it comes to things like this. The only thing I can think of is that they wanted to get as big a chunk of the hiring craze to front load their operation. There is simply no other need to carry that many in reserve.

meanwhile, the CA 175 reserve list in ORD goes to 0 most days, lol.

I'm not sure how much we can put on Envoy management vs AA planning. Envoy definitely earns its fair share at times. I could of told you six months ago the CRJ CAs were going to be hurting this fall just by looking at the amount of flows.
