Are you guys referring to the class that allegedly shares a nickname with the WWII film starring Lee Marvin? I had heard that rumor back in May but had no way of substantiating it.
The July 9th class received base assignments after ten days of training. I suspect it'll be a few more days before the class that began yesterday receives base assignments.

I know we have new-hire classes, trust me! I don't believe the number of washouts that you have heard from this LCA. I only know of 3, unless some washed out around IOE

More than a year? Yes, if you're on the CRJ side and things stay how they have been. You never know, there are guys here that had been on reserve for 3 years at one point, and new 2011 hires (ERJ) that were on reserve for only a few months.

Based on what we know right now (pilots, not management) reserve will be over a year on the CRJ, but that could change at any time. For August, the most junior line holder in Atlanta (assuming no pre-assigned credit or vacation low) is probably a May 2008 hire, but it was probably an October 2010 hire in July since we didn't hire between June 2008 and September 2010. The most junior line holder in IAD and DTW (same assumptions) are probably April 2011 and March 2011 respectively. I looked at the seniority list and pilot assignment lists and very roughly figured about 18% reserves to come up with these numbers, except for Atlanta, which I approximated from my August bid.
Reserve is not bad if you live in base.
