Followup to that,

Ewr, ord, iah, which fastest currently to get to a line?

Lots of new hires would be hopefully reducing reserve time once they can get them on the line?

Yes, but that will take time. In a year or so it might be a wash. But that’s a long time to do minimal flying while those on the -145 or flying over guarantee.

my first month on reserve in IAH i was 9 away from holding a line. Another classmate 2 months in ord and hes the most senior on reserve there with weekends off. If hiring keeps up you should get knocked off reserve quick. My month on reserve ive got a trip the day before i start my reserve period so i have had to get a hotel only a time or two since i commute.

It’s based off of birthdays so it depends who else is in class with you.

When does that switch flip and you go from the GA/low time/CFI mentality of "any hour in an airplane is a good hour" to the "min hours/max pay" program? I find it fascinating that it happens for all of us.

For me, after about 2000 hours in the jet. But I need the $ so I still fly a lot.

But I also look forward to going back to work.
