11 across from what everyone I've talked to said.

Any Junior FO or Junior CA commuters on here? How is it at PDT with the average schedules and commuting? I'm seeing that 4/2 seems to be the standard on/off routine. Seems like that could be pretty tough for a commuter. Are schedules somewhat commutable or are most early shows/late ends?

Most of the schedules you get will at least be commutable on one end. Within a few months FOs will typically be able to hold lines that tend to be more commutable on both ends. When I was a junior line holder at one of our outstation bases, I was able to get through a month without paying for a hotel out of pocket. That being said, Dash schedules will probably start to get a little bit worse with more -145 flying coming online. Feel free to PM me if you have more questions.

Are you able to get more days off with a line that flies less hours per month, or any other variable? Any lines that include shorter trips than 4 days? I am still a year away, but thinking PHL.

Most of the lines are built with 12-11 days off. In terms of length of trips it all varies. I'v seen 2 days all the way up to 5 day trips. There are lines with more days off but those go very senior. A lot will change in the next year. Keep building time and hope to see ya on the line!

Saw new bid. I don't think 22 pilots is feasible unless we hire direct into 146

The rumor is by December.. may be sooner as more fos are coming online.. from what i hear 31 145s is the goal for summer flying next year and 30 plus pilots in the next bid.. 2 145 deliveries jan and 3 feb with a goal of 3 a month.. so 13 by year end, 15 jan, 18 feb, 21 mar, 24 apr, 27 may, 30 june..

That's what the story i last heard.. maybe true or wrong.. no word on what other hub these will be working out of buy I'm sure dca and lga are my suspects..
