The amount of flying while on reserve varies- 30 to 50 hours. Once you hold a line, the usual 75-80 hours without picking up extra flying from open time.
We are due 4 more ERJs this year. 1 in May, the rest TBA.

It's a nightmare...there are buses, but it's about 2-2.5hrs with a couple changes.

Any recent hires been assigned a class date? If so, what was your interview date? I interviewed in early Feb and waiting to hear more so I can do some planning for the summer if I’m not going to be in class yet. Hoping PAE stays the way it is right now. I’d love to get that out of training.

So from a pilot's perspective, what makes a satellite base (PAE say) worse than if it were a real base?

Good advice, unfortunately 20 years and an entire industry too late.
