Yes it isn’t perfect here but flows can always stop. Mco 190 was held pretty quick last system bid (will probably change) by year 5 you would be at 165 an hour on the bus so it would take awhile to make that back up. Just do a calculator to see how long it would take to make up the money and decide for your self.

Truthfully, without being *****y towards the company what do the schedules look like for new hires after line training . Can I hold MCO
18 days on reserve still?

Default Thanks

Thanks for the replies it’s appreciated. Will see how things pan out and if I am successful. Not a big one for these boards especially if everything is doom and gloom . My biggest concern was 11 days off a month and back to commuting and seeing my bed once a week . I knew the pay would be no comparison, transition I am not worried about as the barby is the smallest Jet I have flown in a long while . I just need some balance in work and home so wanted some honest feed back .

New reserve is 13/14 days off a month by the time you would start.

Smallest jet? 😂 You’re a C-5 driver on the side? My bad.

I thought the Barbie jet was the CRJ200, and the 145 was the Jungle jet?

Good afternoon gents-
Any ideas how long to hold a line for a new hire in FLL or JFK (either 190/320)?
TIA

(Airbus) Line in FLL, prob 3 years and change potentially increasing with all the senior MCO 190 guys bailing to FLL 320. JFK 4-5 months.

Hard to accurately say due to all the shuffling of senior people bidding for $. Will take a few system bids for everything to settle in. Safe to say FLL is becoming senior, probably 2.5 years to hold it at all.
