Yeah it could be way worse. Hopefully you live in ORD as if that's the case, it could be a pretty chill year on reserve. While I appreciate the desire to want to upgrade, you need to think long term as well and understand that this will be just one year in what will hopefully be a decades long endeavor.

If you dont live in ORD, sorry, it will suck. We have the worst qol for commuters on reserve.

Is there a base lock after you get assigned a base in class or can one immediately bid for a different base?

You can bid for another base as soon as there's a vacancy bid (they have been every 3-4 months recently but can change.) But you may be limited in base selection by the aircraft you are assigned.

Edit: disregard the base limitations, i see now everyone got the 145.

You can bid a different base at the next vacancy bid.

You just have to look on the positive side!

-You'll become familiar with the jumpseat procedures for almost every single US airline.

-You'll have plenty of opportunity to network with other pilots while sitting in said jump seat.

-You'll become and expert at replacing luggage works wheels as they rust out due to dragging your suitcase to/from your crash pad all the time.

-Speaking of crashpads, and networking, there's nothing like living in the same 2 bedroom apartment as 16 other pilots for making connections!

-The Blue line stops usually only smell like urine during the summer. During the winter it freezes and doesn't smell nearly as bad.

-At least you're not stuck in LGA.

There you go, i need more positives! I knew there were hidden benefits to 18 months reserve. I would hate to have to miss out and hold a line by end of training like the 175 counterparts.

There are some advantages to being older I guess.

Did they really give an entire class the 145? And why would they do that if it’s staffed well enough for a year + of reserve? I’m looking at lateraling over but that’s somewhat dissappointing IMO. Was hoping classes would at least be a mix
