Depends how long you’re on reserve for. Not including the time spent on reserve, it should take 14-16 months.

The time a pilot spends on reserve fluctuates. On the E175 it’s around 3 months.

Took me just shy of two years. Lots of bad months on reserve, albeit I was Seattle based in the Q. Once I held a line I was doing 70-80 hours a month. I’m worried for new hires getting hours especially in the Q as we are overstuffed in FOs

So 6-9 months. I stand corrected. It’s changed so many times since Horizon started flying the 175.

Have an interview coming up. Have previous 121 time and close to 1,000. Looking to be based in Seattle and wondering if I should go the q or jet with the potential to upgrade within 6 months to a year
