Yeah. Here or Compass probably. Considering you already have all that 121 time, you might upgrade in less than a year if they really start needing Captains (since others won't have the 1000 SIC time yet). That's partly speculation, but barring any sort of 9/11 event it should be quick regardless.
Edit: Or as cartean said, maybe PSA, but I'm less familiar with their operation.

I live in XNA, and the bases for Mesa's ERJ work for me. I skimmed thru some stuff on PSA on this forum, but its hard to get to the facts when everyone is out bashing each other. I try to make important decisions based on facts, not conjecture and some online troll's opinion. Thanks for the help guys. So far Im hearing that Mesa will need 1000 pilots over the next 12 months to staff the remaining ERJs to come online. The mock bid went to Seniority #705 for CA upgrade, I think I would be around 850 or so... Inputs gladly welcomed.

Reserve has 3 shifts. RS1=4am to 4pm, RS3=Noon to midnight, and RS4 7pm to 7am. RS4 goes junior and only awarded to one maybe two guys a month, so forget it until you are really senior.
As for RS1 and RS3, be prepared to sit Ready Reserve every day at the airport for 8 hours if you are not flying. It gets pretty old very quick.

I never have to do Ready as I bid CML and I'm the most senior guy.
Also where are people award RS4? I have never seen that awarded or offered in the ORD or IAD bases.

Not necesarily, there's Mil., Corp, and some 135 guys here. They look at each on a case by case just for the first few thru the program. It's just to reduce liability in the pipeline etc. Remember, the programs practically brand new btw...Besides, you can have the ejet slot when you upgrade for sure as well.

Also, what mock bid are you referring to? I haven't heard of this.

So I have no chance at getting an ERJ for the most part until a bit later? They either are or are not trying to staff that airplane so I dont completely understand that but..
