-Size and number of reserves at each of the narrow body bases.
-Approximate reserve time at each base.
-Are charts carried by each pilot? Ship sets? EFBs?
Thanks

Man, I would love DCA or CLT 320. That would be such a great step in the right direction for this career. It has been so many years of stagnation that a change is in order. Any experiances?

Insurance premiums vary widely, with 100, 90, and 80% PPO plans and a high deductible HSA plan, plus options for individual, couple, self and kids, and whole family coverage.
30-40% of each base/seat are on reserve. On the 320, CLT is the largest East base with almost 400 crews, PHL has almost 200, and DCA almost 100. On the 737, CLT is also the largest base - 150-ish crews, PHL has 60-some, and 30-some in DCA. The 190 is only in PHL, with about 80 crews.
Aircraft are equipped with shipsets, and pilots don't carry flight cases.
New hires last year and this year have gotten DCA 320 off the bat, and 2011 hires can hold 737, 320, and 190 in any base (on the East, of course).

20 of the A319s have EFBs, along with all A330s. Ship sets are on the entire fleet, including those aircraft with EFBs for backup or alternate methods of useage. See the airline profile.

Yeah, Thanks Trent. That was great info. It's good to see that not all companies are putting the burden of health care only on the pilot. Now, how long will it take to hold 330 right seat?
