I’m hearing roughly 180 currently. What I don’t know is the current burn rate to empty that pool.

Thanks, I was a successful November interview. I believe there was around 30 in our group.

My first week of Sept. PE still hasn't gotten a class date. So there's somewhat of a barometer. Figure two interview groups or so per week and however many you have per group that pass multiplied over the last 2.5 months. What's the pass rate? Might give you somewhat of a gauge.

Reserve (RA/RB) Call Out 1:30 (1.5), unless you're on R-24.
Right now on R24 you get 24 hours notice for your first flight, then they AM hub turn you until your eyes bleed or you cry uncle

Yeah, I'd actually say that R24 is the worst Reserve at this company. Their aim is to bring you into the system and keep reassigning you new Hub turns, so that you never go back out on another 24 hour call out. Probably something to consider fixing in the next round of CBA talks.

Used to be a great deal. I sat at home for 10 weeks on R24 long time ago while on the panel. It used to go senior. Then slowly over time, it's been used more and more for HSTBY or hub-turning once they call you in. Rumor had it that they wanted to get reserve utilization numbers up, so they started the R24 HSTBY BS...now its not a good deal anymore.

it’s the worst thing I’ve done here. This includes being junior in the 75 on RA. No comparison.

Where they really screw you on R24 is in the turn times.

Turn inside one long blue line of HSBY is operational duty limit.

Two separate blue lines assigned to a reserve pilot is scheduled duty limit.

This makes for some ugly critical period turns for the R24 HSBY guy.
