Me too. They wet over the pay during training and the per diem during training that we'll receive at the beginning of the interview. Not sure where JT8D is getting that info.

The better question is WHY would you go to PSA, Mesa, Republic, Endeavor, GoJet, Great Lakes, etc..

Maybe the idea of not sitting reserve for well over a year and upgrading sometime this decade sound attractive to some ppl. I know, that's just crazy . They all suck for different reasons, pick your poison and what works for your situation and roll the dice.

Oh you mean the upgrade at Great Lakes that doesn't exist anymore. Upgrades require new FOs, staffing will soon halt any quick upgrades indefinitely at all those airlines

People are holding lines at XJT within 2 months out of the schoolhouse.

Only in EWR! In any other base it will take anywhere from 6 to 12 months (except DEN and ORD)...

You do realize that some of us have spent upwards of 3 years on reserve. 6-12 months is not that bad considering everything.

Then there is the risk you run of going to the 700 in ATL. Reserve at this time might actually be indefinite when you consider the shrinkage and zero attrition from the top.

I never said 6-12 months is bad or good. I just stated a fact, thats all. FYI some of my friends in other regionals get a line within 1-3 months out of training.

They are probably at a smaller regional experiencing rapid growth. Smart move on their part.

One quick look at the XJT fleet plan over the next couple years and you quickly will notice an eye watering reduction of aircraft.

Good luck on getting a line, especially if you get placed on the CRJ side!
