After glancing at this, I don't want people with the 121 time to think that they have to wait 9 mo to upgrade if they come to PSA.

We are still forcing upgrades. Anyone who is eligible and bids for a CA spot will be awarded before anyone else on property is forced to upgrade.

As has been pointed out elsewhere, you can bid and be awarded CA faster than you can say Norfolk!

Basically, if you get SCR at CLT are you safe getting a long term lease or buying a place? I guess you would also have to worry about upgrading and being moved.

Yes, you would be safe getting a place because as you move up in seniority in CLT you would be able to hold a different kind of schedule, like Long Call, a Build Up line, or a Round 1 Line. You are correct that once you upgrade you would most likely be based elsewhere, but you also have the option of commuting out of CLT to wherever you're based.

How many hours does one usually fly a month on SCR? I am noticing a long wait as CA and just curious if there is a typical month of flying when on SCR.

I'm looking to get ORF when I start training late September, and it looks like that won't be an issue. I'm noticing the CA lines seem pretty junior, and I'm sure that'll shake out a little more when I upgrade in a year and a half or two, but just curious at this point.

Not at all.

More like hurry up and wait.... But I will say, it is a life changer living in base on reserve!

I'm looking to move to Norfolk, outside of IOE I don't think it'll be an issue to be there through the entirety of my time at PSA. Does this seem reasonable?

I understand your question to be "Can I move to Norfolk and be based there continuously for several years until I leave PSA"

Not unreasonable to hope for that. Trying to predict the future at regional airlines is quite difficult. Don't structure your life such that ruin will ensue if it doesn't work out.

Is there any value to staying reserve if you live within 45 minutes of TYS. Can you even do that?

You’d have more control over your schedule if you take a line when you can hold one. That said, nothing prevents a more senior person from bidding reserve.
