I’m a CA that drives to work. The people I fly with that commute near DFW or live in DFW, are only having that amount of flight time after being here a year. They originally were based in ORD or LGA and still only have 150 hours.

Been here as a DEC for a year. Flown 350 hrs; that was trying to fly as a senior rsv in NYC during the summer rush. The need for DECs is routed in the inefficient schedules that we have, not a substantial amount of block hours. AAG uses us to fill holes in the schedule where a mainline or 175 dont make sense. Because of that, we have 9 hr 4 day trips. As a new DEC, I would expect to fly no more than 200 hrs a year as you will be primarily relegated to airport standby or some crappy overnight.

If you get LGA as a DEC you prob will fly more, but at this point nobody really knows anything that the company is planning EVEN with the email that was just sent out from RW. Everything here is smoke and mirrors.

Every now and then a good trip opens up due to a sick call.

I know few with less than 200hrs almost a year and a half with Envoy. Not being called in month. They’re not mad, getting paid for nothing while going up on the sen list.

Got on the line as a ORD DEC in mid-Sep. So far this month I’ve flown 31 hours. Today we were down to 0 reserves and so far tomorrow we’re down to 3.

If they ever what to make more than 42 bucks a hour they better be upset. A lot of FO’s have families and even though their wife/husband may work, majority want to stop paying for child care or maybe they have in laws willing to raise their kids if so more power to them sitting on there ass at the house while there wife/husband goes to work but can’t leave the kids with him/her because he/she may get called for a trip.
