Now don't forget to frame those shortest reserve times in a nice graph by airframe and distance to vegas.

Can reserve days be dropped at some airlines? I don't care about not getting paid the hours for that day.

Who has shortest the reserve periods closest to Vegas? Ejet or CRJ?


From the guys at republic I’ve talked too it seems like they have pretty decent flexibility on reserve. It’s not gonna be great regardless.

Mesa reserve SUCKS. Ready reserve almost everyday for 8-10 hours. Short all is almost non-existent here.

This is the kind of info I am looking for. A friend at mesa was trying to sell me on being able to drop reserve days, but in IAH. I guess CRJ in phx is senior. So its looking more and more like skywest.

It's a shame Compass is a mess, because it sounds like you might be a good fit there.

Go to Skywest and hustle, every month you wait is 50 people ahead of you on the seniority list.

And every month he waits 50 people that would be above him on the seniority list will be gone.. see what I did there.

At Expressjet you fly all the time on reserve on the 145. On the 175 not as much but that is about to change when these last 9 airplanes go online by April 1. Ready reserve max 6 times per month for only 4 hrs. Can’t get it two days in a row or on your last day. So it’s mostly 2 hr short call. Very short reserve as well. Couple months max.

Also you have a chance to get the CJO with United on the front end. You can prep for your interview and get that done while on reserve. Worked for me. From CFI to right seat at United in 2.5 years won’t be half bad!

Just go to the part 135 operator in Vegas that all the Compass dudes are going to. Fly some, do your reserve at home, and most importantly, DRIVE to work! Whether it’s to a line or reserve, commuting sucks.

I’ll humbly accept your thanks at a later time 😃
