Again, not throwing shade at anyone who is lucky enough to avoid upgrading into reserve, but that has most DEFINITELY not been the case for quite a few people.

But people are saying it’s going to be 2 years reserve when you upgrade and that’s not likely the case unless you decide to stay at a senior base.

I was Senior Manned into upgrade as a two year FO, and Spent six Months on reserve in Dayton before I transferred to CVG for July and just barely got a round one line.
Here are the current most junior pilots as of July 2019 to hold a round one line in each base (keep in mind this is just a snapshot in time).
CLT: FO-1.27 years, CA-4.33 years
CVG: FO-9.2 months, CA-2.53 years
DAY: FO-10.1 months, CA-2.68 years
DCA: FO-1.11 years, CA-2.49 years
ORF: FO-10.1 months, CA-2.45 years
PHL: FO-1.07 years, CA-4.07 years
TYS: FO-11 months, CA- 4.1 years

Second of all I am going straight to a build up line when I upgrade, (which is very soon ) round 1 will be very shortly thereafter, within 3 months or so. Good try though! 😂

I could have bid reserve and worked even less but I’m a commuter so I didn’t.

Going back to my earlier points, I don’t think PBS is the solution, or is worth giving up the SAP for. I know this wasn’t the point you were making but figured I’d say it for continuity sake
