Well, there was no hiring for 15 months after that guy was hired, and February is a slow month. Block hours are steadily increasing though and will for the forseeable future, unless of course the ligmacron variant, recession, or war with ChyRussia hits our industry in the kneecaps again and things regress again. So, I’d say reserve times will drop. Also, attrition is much higher now than 6-9 months ago, and way more than 9-22 months ago (23 this month so far, 26 last month), so as that trend continues, that’s more junior lineholders bailing in front of you. Spitballing here but if you got hired in the last Jan class, I would bet JFK320 reserve would be 9-12 months, 190 reserve in JFK/BOS would be 1-3 months, and BOS 220 reserve would be 3-6 maybe 9 months, depending on how this supplemental bid shakes out. Probably not the same kind of movement as legacies have right now, but it isn’t terrible.

I’m not seeing anywhere to put volunteer experience on the app. It’s on my resume. Does that suffice, or, am I missing something? Thanks.

I would bid the 190 to avoid that. Same first year pay. Why do SDQ red-eyes when you don’ have to? You’ll hold a line a couple months and be able to VDA like crazy on the 190. First system/supplemental bid that comes your way, bid the Airbus and go straight to a line with a nice bump in pay.

Yea I’m not sure what you’re trying to say here. The chance of a reserve landing an Aruba 24 is slim. SDQ red-eyes on the other hand…high probability

Is the application window open right now? I can't find any link to start a new Pilot application.
