We have 20 slots allotted right now for fully qualified DECs. We also have 20 slots for folks getting close to CA mins. Was just announced a few days ago. Rumor has it the DEC program wasn’t too successful. Heard something like a 2/3 fail rate. Can’t confirm though....

Do people understand coming here as a DEC that they’ll probably never hold a line? Couldn’t imagine being on reserve for life here.

They looked at training and retention... apparently butts were hurt that so much resources were used for the DEC. Not your fault, it's the company..

Yeah retention is a different story. 4 of the 6 are gone that I know of.

Default DEC and Reserve

I’m looking at DEC. How long is reserve? I heard 2 years? I understand 11 days off per month. Can they assign 6 consecutive reserve days in a particular month? Thanks.

You are looking at a lengthy reserve period with 11 days off and they typically will schedule 6 day blocks

You’ll be reserve forever, at best build up. You’ll literally be more junior every month as FOs ahead of you upgrade.
