Question:
If hired today into the E190, how long could you expect to sit reserve?
Is there any truth to the rumor that JetBlue is in talks with Express Jet as a potential feeder? I know it sounds weird but that is what I heard.

The answer to your 2nd question is no. Express Jet is only planned to be operating JB flights through the end of April and Embraer is footing the bill due to QC troubles on the 190 jets which are slated to be corrected by the end of April.

Thanks for the info.

I spent 5 months on reserve, but that was Boston. NY guys spent only a month or three.
