Roughly 220 FOs and 190 lines in ATL. We have 7/9 FOs in DTW also, and should have some in DFW soon. Most junior line holder looks like 05/2015. Welcome back.
I have heard most will never break guarantee,averaging only 30 to 40 hrs a month actual flying time. Im trying to find out information for a good friend. Thx |

How much flying would someone on reserve in Atl on the 7/9 expect to fly each month?

Last year when I was flying as a new FO. I always broke guarantee. I wanted to fly, and I did. I credited 100 hours several months. |

What is the minimum number of days off per month at Xpress Jet? How long would it take to hold a line on the ERJ out of IAH with 12 days off?

This brings up 2 questions: 1) I know this is a touchy subject... but what are yall's thoughts on upgrade time with base in IAH? I'm considering Skywest or Envoy to upgrade quicker than the current 9 year upgrades (at the sacrifice of commuting) 2) a family friend is a 15-yr FO at Delta and lives on base so he can pick up last minute trips that are 1/5, double, and even sometimes triple pay.... is that common at the regionals? or would I already be flying at the legal limit (because this could significantly change one's take home pay) thanks yall! Most junior FO line holder in IAH was March 2014. Every one under that is still on RSV in IAH The most Jr CA in IAH was hired in April 2007. Company is still parking a couple of planes a month and no upgrades have been announced in months. |

31- 12 Cant say how long to hold a line in IAH, guessing probably at least a couple years as of right now. That could change for the better but who knows. A better question might be how long to get to IAH, considering most are going to ORD or EWR. I think you could probably do it in 6mo, but just my guess. If living in Houston is a priority, XJT is where I'd go. |
Sorry, trying not beat the same drum, but just curious about crj Dfw junior guy Doh, also junior line holder doh. Does LCR there go junior to a line holder?
How much longer does the contract have there. Thanks for your time. |

How much longer does the contract have there. Thanks for your time. Currently it's hard to gauge junior line holder. It's artificially lowered by having captains fly as reserve FOs so the most junior line holder is very junior, like 2 or 3 months on line. If that LOA stops then the time to hold a line would rise. There's a lot of attrition in DFW right now so a line wouldn't be too long of a wait though. The AA flying contract expires around the end of January 2017, but according to management they are very hopeful and confident the contract will be extended with larger aircraft. The DFW pilots are probably less confident due to staffing and Skywest's penchant for keeping the larger/lucrative flying on the Skywest side of the house. |

Why? The low pay allows Mesa to be competitive with contracts, ensuring job security!(until all the pilots leave)
