Reserve Times
 

Looking to research before applying places - can anyone provide the reserve times for bases/aircraft at Envoy right now?

Thanks.

DFW 175 FO junior lineholder is a Jan 19 hire. So, just a few months for them. Problem is those on reserve now will be on there until at least early next year because of base transfers and displacements.

The valid responses to this are.

1. Dont come here unless you must. There are better options for all but a select few.

2. Reserve times change pretty frequently here, so what is something today could be another tomorrow.

3. If you come here, don't come because you think the reserve times will be short.

You should note that DFW 175 FO is the shortest reserve in the whole company. Other statuses are seeing 2 years of reserve.

Another total lie.
There's no FO status with 2 years of reserve.

FO lineholders for July, hard lines only.

ORD
CRJ 1/2018
145 1/2019
175 12/2018

DFW
175 1/2019
145 2/2018

MIA 145 9/2018
NYC 145 3/2018

Did I say FO status or can you not read?

And MIA 145 will only be going up up and away. Lines shrink by 50% in September. The guys on reserve down there will quite possibly see 2 years on reserve.

"Quite possibly". You seriously are predicting reserve times 2 years in advance based on seasonal shifts in flying? Fact is: In July, there is no FO seat with more than 2 years of reserve.

You did. Let me refresh your memory.

Or are you seriously comparing FO to CA reserve times?

There are seats closing in on that number and while I know it suits your agenda, it really isn’t fair to list those times as fact due to the bloat in lines this time of year.

It is not uncommon and has happened in the past that people will grab a line during the summer months only to fall back onto reserve when the lines get cut.

Once again your facts are true, but only under very specific circumstances and at the right times. They however may not be indicative of long term trends.

Anyway, for the OP, see my post above and you will do fine. If you have other options, I would consider them first unless you have the right circumstances to make coming here worthwhile.

Fact is: reserve times right now do not matter to somebody getting hired right now. When I got hired, reserve times at my base and equipment were the shortest in the system. I will probably not see a line until next year unless I go to a different base.
