First of all, I hope BoilerWings is for Purdue. Went to Purdue for awhile...my wife graduated from there...as did most of her family...and I'm a huge Boilermaker fan.
Crash was a temporary nickname given to me for, shall we say, my initial inability to place the F100 on the ground in a horizontal manner. Thankfully landings are not graded...nor should they be! I was a bit more concerned flying the ILS than I was with what altitude I should flare at. 10 feet is apparently not adequate! Works for a 172, but not something that weighs 44 times a 172.

Im on reserve in ORD, almost broke guarantee in Febuary...i have the next 4 days off and im NOT going to pick up open time. Next month isnt going to be nice to me so ill enjoy my days off. Reserve in ORD is around 4-5 months right now since they just cut a few more lines.

For the March bids the most junior composite line (monthly schedule built mostly flying and a couple reserve days) went to the FO 2nd from the bottom. I think he was off IOE 1 month. I would expect at most 2-3 months on reserve in BOS. As far as ORD FO shortage goes, they are probably more than 99 FOs short. We are completely understaffed throughout the system, so its all relative.

If they're 99+ short in ORD, that must mean there is ZERO reserve time??? What is ORD ERJ reserve time?
Thanks.

I think ORD reserve is alittle longer, maybe 5-6 months. They keep a huge number of pilots on reserve to cover the huge amount of flying they do compared to BOS. One benefit of a smaller base.
