Interesting. I was under the impression that new-hires were getting 175 DFW or LGA. Is that not true? Which airplane would get you DFW based out of training as fast as possible?

Then once you get to DFW you’re going to be on reserve for a while, i’ve seen guys get to DFW just to bid back to LGA. This is in the 145

Same with guys that bid to MIA on the 145. They usually do one bid cycle then bid back to Lga

Well...if you live in the DFW area, RSV isn't a terrible deal. If you're still commuting into DFW, then that's a big code red. Abort abort abort.

DFW first day is typically available on the 175. The problem is getting a 175 slot, and it's a high risk proposition - FO's are seat locked here, meaning that once you get the 145 or god forbid the CRJ, it's either quit or learn to love the suck.

The 145 is much more likely than the CRJ, luckily, and you can actually fly after 4-5 months of reserve in NY. You'll be on never-fly reserve for upwards of a year if you go LGA-ORD-DFW like many of us are doing though.

When getting close to expiring on landings, HI6 says contact CP. CPO office said they don't handle that, call scheduling, scheduling said they don't handle that and not sure who to call next. I ended up getting a trip by luck. Scheduling would not give me one out of reserve list order.

To anyone who has actually expired, how do you get the sim, and what does it consist of? Is it a graded event like recurrent or just 3 landings wherever they can fit you in?

Email your CP, CS and the training contact. That way there’s a paper trail if/when you go out of currency you will be pay protected because you can show you did everything on your end. If they want to play hot potato then it’s on them.

Phone calls do nothing because then it’s he said she said apart from CS and dispatch they’re not recorded.

I got 4 weeks of back-to-back 5 leg days when my landings were about to expire, for consolidation, so I don't know.

I’m a DEC on the line now. All the paperwork I got said FO. Don’t worry.
