They're not lying, currently no rsv FO in sby.

Hang in there.. We lose 16 fos this month to training.. Which base are u at?

Dam I should have bid reserve.... Instead I'm sitting in Elmira.. Ohwell

What would you all say the biggest need is for FO or CPT? I will have captain mins probably after a month of flying then will bid once comfortable. Is it true they have hired some street captains now? Think I saw something about that earlier or in another thread.

I think those days of business are long gone.
DALs profit sharing was $40k+ for people I know there this year... Until management finds a way to get rid of it the next TA.

We need CAs pretty bad...between jet transitions and the flow the CAs are definitely not sitting around on reserve. I've heard rumors of some insane pay credit going on...we're talking 150-200+ hrs of credit if you want to work, sell your vacation back, etc...

Wow... Yeah, I'll be one of those. Goal is to get as much experience on the Dash and get comfortable so I can bid captain. Will be bidding for SBY once I get to training.

Could just be the fact that we're on the back end of the month. What base are you? I'm SBY and ive been used every single reserve day. Pick up some double PRM? Next month will get better bro.

I'm based in MDT. I can already hear it in crew scheduling voice when I call that they are already sick of me calling.
