Dc/phl have enough flying to merit reserves

best plan would be carving your schedule into 4 day blocks to get used on trips and not miscellaneous BS

Cool. Thanks for the response. Not exactly sure if I’m ready to dive back into regional reserve life quite yet! Just debating chasing that 121 PIC time

Its hit or miss, weekends they'll probably make you sit in whatever base you're at. Very dependent on the grid and how smoothly things are running.

Yeah that’s true. Thanks for the input! I’m still on the fence about the whole thing. Would be taking a pretty significant pay cut for the 121 PIC. Also, they wouldnt tell me how soon I would be in upgrade after initial IOE

I’ve heard of guys with referrals getting calls within a day or two of submitting their application.

I am CLT based and looking at PSA or Piedmont. For a new FO how long are we looking to get CLT as a base for reserve or a line? Also is the flow still 10 pilots/month?

PSA seems like a much better place to work overall, however it seems like CLT is senior and spending more time having to commute might offset that.

You should be able to get CLT within 6 months of hire and it looks like time to hold a line is right around 2 years for all bases right now.

How about upgrade? If 2 yrs to hold a line it seems like I would upgrade and be back on reserve right around the same time

PSA and the whole industry are in a period of massive attrition… ie seniority progression. Living in clt, the answer is PSA without any competition. In the scheme of your time at a regional, the initial commute to reserve will be trivial compared to living in the mother ship your whole careee
