That being said, holding out for the 175 right now would be, in my opinion, a penny wise, pound foolish decision. Highly prized among airline executive management but not very smart for an airline pilot working in a seniority based system. If you hold out for the 175 now, you may be sitting right seat in three years to someone who took the first class offered, hired two months before you but with a much better seniority.

Thanks
Thanks
Reserve recently has been very long but it is shrinking, and it's a fairly safe assumption that things will move fast. In previous years of heavy hiring, people spent just a few months on reserve. Everything comes down to how many people are hired after you get here, and all signs point to that being a big number if you are hired here soon. Best of luck.

Waiting on the 175 could cost you years to upgrade or worse, FLOW!

If they are flowing 15 a month by the time that you flow, that extra 100 people in front of you could cost you an extra 6 months.
