Default Pinnacle's reserve time in ATL?

I've searched around to find this info in the forum but couldnt come across it. I've found several people asking the same question on several threads, but wasnt quite answered...

If someone has this info, or could point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it.

Cheers!
FS

Well.....right now looks long, there are some people that have been in the company for 6 months and are still in reserve. The thing you got to remember is a new base so is hard to forecast the future. It went senior when it started but now is going really junior. Reserve time is going to come down really fast for the next 3 months. The problem is that all those junior people going there they're just finishing initial trainning.
I would guess if you get in now you won't sit long on reserve. If you live in ATL is not a problem. If you are a commuter it could be. So far the lines are uncommutable, lots of day trips and 2 days trips.

I believe it will be considerably longer than before now that we have pay rates for the 900. Many senior guys were biding their time for the pay rates before bidding. Now that there are hard numbers to look at, I think it will go fairly senior once again.

I flew with some really senior guys the other day who were definitely looking at transferring to ATL with the rates.

If you wanna know how long reserve is hang out in ATL ops...do we have an ops office there? I know nothing about ATL.

Slim to none. I'm betting its going to go very senior now with the pay rates. And of course Pinnacle management will use that to their advantage to BS new hires.

You'll be on reserve a long time. Lowest person who got a line in ATL has been here almost a year.

I don't understand why people want to work at a crappy company. Sad because we will never get a contract with people accepting $20 to fly a jet.
