depends on how much time you have I guess. I know for a fact that they try to avoid high time guys like furloughed pilots. Doesnt mean it doesnt happen but they try to avoid them. Thats not arumor, thats straight from GR's mouth, our assistant chief pilot. They figure high time guys will jump ship first chance, and theyre right. Also you may encounter some attitude problems from some. Right seat captains and such. Too many years in this business is sure to do that to someone.
I applied to everyone and have been called for an interview by only one regional... Certainly perplexing. Maybe it's that speeding ticket from 2007. Yep, it's got to be that...
PSA was my #1 regional based on domiciles.

Some of us 12-14 year military folks seem to be in this weird "too few hours to be competitive at the majors, too many hours to get a call from a regional" gray area.

I'm positive they have quite a bit of time. They are all 34+ and have been at previous regionals for 5+ years.
the rest are 135 and CFIs.

Scheduling does own you, but I broke guarantee on reserve for the first time last month, solely bc I sat hot reserve so many times. 78.5 hrs of credit.

Reserves still sucks!! and still gets abused no doubt, but it's nowhere close to how it used to be.

I have never broke guarantee on rsv. Scheduling has definitely improved with the new contract but the new contract doesnt take away the weekdays morning shift "screw pilots dynamic duo" in the scheduling dept. They will make sure you get oppposite of what you want or request.

The current reserves are living the dream compare to how it was before the new contract. 11 days off and getting paid to sit hot?? Schedules staying within 13 hours, not the typical 14 hours which always get pushed back to close to 15 hours.
