I understand that almost all DEC are going to CRJ in ORD. Are the lines better and how long on reserve? Been the only base for the CRJ are the situation the same as the EMB145? Thanks in advance.

If you get the crj as a direct entry captain I would expect reserve duty until the fleet is gone which is until early 2020 at this time. However, you might get the 145. Either way I would expect reserve of at least a year possibly/likely longer (but who knows for sure).

My source in recruiting says only 10-15 more DEC and the pipeline will be shut off. If you do not have any understanding of ENVOY RSV, know that you will sit airport standby as a captain for the next 3 years if you are hired now....

It adds up. The mass of FOs they hired between 2016-2017 are gearing up to upgrade soon and the company is going to need more FOs.

Gearing up? They’re already on the line or currently in upgrade training.

Food for thought for DEC’s

Hey I'm gonna go out on a limb and say no matter what equipment you are on you will be on reserve for years. When it comes to DEC guys you missed the boat on the chance to hold a line. I'm going to guess three or four years before you can hold a line on any equipment.

Reason- we are about to start having a massive amount of pilots hit 1000 hours over the next 6 - 18 months. I don't see them continuing to hire DEC very much longer.

Hence why that LOA is up in Feb. They know they’ll have plenty of guys to upgrade by then.

Absolutely, if you can wait until it’s been a full year off IOE or you’ll owe it all back. It’s not based of DOH.
