Best Reserve Rules?
 

Which regional has best reserve rules? They all seem like 2 hour call out and some airport reserve (15 min). Some have long call reserve but it goes senior.

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?

Don't come to Endeavor unless you love ready reserve.

Reserve going to suck at every regional regardless. They way to minimize the suckage or reserve is to live in base or close (like 1 1/2 hours away from base).

Mesa crj Dulles 4 days total reserve!

Wut?


..............

What company has best reserve closest to LAS?

Which airframe has shorter reserve time.

Say Mesa CRJ from PHX or Skywest ERJ in SLC or Horizon ERJ in PHX/SEA. Maybe skywest CRJ in PSP? So many factors.

I am trying to make a decision of regional based outside of LAS versus a 135 based in Vegas.

Everyone I talked to says commuting to reserve is the absolute worst- so I guess I have to decide if I am going to put up with it for a while or go for something home based.

Long term goal is a LCC based in LAS.

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

Skywest will give you the greatest number of options and the quickest route to being a line holder somewhere with a decent commute.

Commuting to reserve sucks as much as everyone says. I commuted PHX-ORD on reserve for 6 months. It's no fun but is doable if theres light at the end of the tunnel.

Best reserve rules:

Whoever has a base where you live.

Never commute to reserve if you can help it.

Thats the path that is in the lead right now. I am a few hours away from minimums, but probably switching from teaching to straight time building in January to make a skywest class date in mid spring

Best reserve rules is like asking where to get the most painless root canal.


You should be asking who has the shortest reserve.

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

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.

Making a spreadsheet.....I can imput the data into a graph and color with crayons later though

I like republic....just seems like impossible commute for me though

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.

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 😃

Aviate is not a United CJO, where are you getting that from?

that’s the pipe dream they’re selling; however i have only met one person who was accepted and he is a long time captain.

I was accepted and will work hard to make it through but nothing in the letter has the words. Conditional Job Offer. They are pretty clear no promises and you have be reliable and not fail 3 121 check rides. Reasonable. As always keep options open.

I got it as well

You are correct. They are careful not to include “CJO” in the language. I’m sure it’s to keep them out of hot water if they decide to scrap the program later even if you meet all of their requirements. Call it what you will. I don’t care. Just so we are using approved language, what should we call it from here forward? Preferably something that can be abbreviated. I’ll entertain whatever you decide.

Airsmart? Thought everyone was going yellow or sunny.

To the original poster, I tried to figure this all out a year ago and though I had it figured with a west coast commute, short reserve and equipment - then my choice has a change in contracts (CP) so now reserve is a big snowglobe of unknowns for when I get through training. Well what is known is there will be a lot of reserve.

This is one thing that won’t change anytime soon at XJT. We have 30 airplanes parked in need of crews. As fast as we can get pilots through training there is a spot for them. We do need a few reserves, but tome on reserve will be very short for at least the next year or two.

You got the CJO via Aviate already?

JSX. Vegas base, reserve is split evenly regardless of seniority. Plan maybe 2-4 days a month, either at home with 2 hour callout or at the FBO. Fly the rest of the time.

Yes about a month ago

"You are correct. They are careful not to include “CJO” in the language. I’m sure it’s to keep them out of hot water if they decide to scrap the program later even if you meet all of their requirements. Call it what you will".

So you decided to call it CJO then?

For Gods sake call it whatever you want!

Fake recruiting scheme?

I call BS on this. I haven’t met one real person who has been selected.
