DAL 7ER out of JFK...
8 of the latest class will be showing up after the holidays at JFK to sit reserve on the ER. Any ER drivers out there know how often the reserves are being utilized out of JFK? Obviously the base is short on bodies...we're 8 little people going to fly big planes and ATL ERs are filling some of the JFK lines.
I'd like to get an idea of if it will be "sit and wait" or "King in the Castle..."

Average line value for November is 72 hours, and lines will range from 65:00 to 79:30. In the summer, ALV and the associated range was 10 hours higher. Another bid is coming out next month, and I expect that some ER F/O slots will go unfilled in JFK. In other words, there will probably be new hire ER slots for a while longer.

Yes, reserves are being utilized in JFK on the ER. This summer we were so short half the guys I talked to were on Green Slips or Inverse Assignments. FOs have been making more than the average Captain lately. 
Things should be slowing down a bit for the winter but we're still understaffed. Plan on flying on reserve....which is better than sitting around in a crash pad!
