Current new hires can expect ~5 weeks in Dayton. No delays between day 1 of Indoc and KV. However, about a 4-6 week delay following KV (oral) at this time before being sent off to sim training (about 2-3 weeks in training). Not a bad time to relax and do some light studying (and potentially get some use out of jumpseating/non rev travel) while still collecting min guarantee pay.

That being said I'm in Dayton so deadheads are just the way of things. I could probably get more hours if I left my reserve days in bigger blocks, but I try my best to get two days on and one or two off since hot reserve goes to whoever has the most reserve days. Hot reserve is a good time to update your resume and apply outside the flow though!

Typical block per month is 40-50 hours, copious amounts of DHs to repo an airplane to somewhere. Then overnight to DH back to CLT where they have a turn waiting on you. I get used almost every single day on reserve and the months where I've come close to breaking guarantee they managed to not use me the last few days of the month so I couldn't partake in that sweet accelerated goodness. Rsv here is a nightmare, buyer beware.

You can always ask, but with most of our bases being hubs now, it's unlikely they'll want to approve that unless they happen to be very short-staffed in the base you're requesting to sit in. Certainly they can (and have), but I definitely wouldn't plan on it.

Yeah I get that. I live in CLT so obviously I would want to sit there as much as possible. I figured with that being the biggest hub, that’s where all the flying would be.
