2 DEC OCC
6 OFE
12 OFL/DFL


If you don’t know what those acryonms mean then read more of this thread for the answer.

Interesting how much the DECS have come down over the last 6 months. Also kinda surprised they went to the CRJ in ORD. Did we just flow some off that fleet?

I wonder if it’s the inability to hire or lack of need for DECs.

I wouldn’t think the idea of coming to a disappearing fleet would be attractive for a DEC.

Something like a half of the seniority list within half a year

This was always going to happen. The CA shortage was last summer which is why they hired as many DEC’s 12 months ago as they could. It was a stop gap until the wave of mid 2016 hires onwards hit their upgrade hours.

With all the upgrades, should reserve time on the 145 go down next year?

In which seat?

Hard to say, depends on how much flying shifts around from fleet to fleet

Right seat. Seems like the 145 has 10 months of reserve with minimal flying to be had right now.

It really all depends on if those FO's that had to take the forced upgrade in the first quarter decide they want to go back to training or not. They upgraded like 100 or pilots to the 145 if I remember correctly so that will be a big pile to move around in order to bring reserve down.

How much extra flying can realistically be picked up as a first year FO?
