Just looking at recent classes, the typical class make up has been about 4-5 cadets, 1-3 prior 121 guys, and the rest are by age which includes the rotor guys, probably about 12-15. I haven't run the numbers in detail, but it appears that in a typical class at least 75% of the class is under 30.

Not to get your hopes up but if you're "older" I wouldn't worry too much about getting LGA/JFK. You can most likely bet on ORD 175/145. There were a ton of ORD FO slots open on the last vacancy. DFW is notoriously senior and so it going to NH does happen but slots are very tight generally speaking. You'd most likely be able to get down to Dallas within a couple months if thats your end game however.

Until my class lol. That’s just part of it, and you have to find a way to way to make the best of it. Christmas time in nyc sitting reserve will be my silver lining I guess

Hello, looking to be based in MIA. Sounds like decent chance of getting the 145. Would you agree with that assessment? If lucky enough to get the 145, any guesses how long to get MIA and how many monthly average hours are flown on reserve lately?
Thanks.
Thanks.

You will be on reserve a while once you do get there.
