Enjoying the time off. Just ready to get SOE out of the way so I can throw my bid for CA as long as I'm comfortable! Great experience through out so far. Had a fun LOE with Pfeifle. Hahaha.

Maybe soon'ish? With the start of Dash retirements they might be able to continually fill the jets with current Dash guys, but who knows. As it is, junior jet FO is a Jan '16 hire now.

A couple guys from my Feb class look like they might hold a hard line in MDT for next month. Still a bit longer to hold a line in the other bases.

- Still mostly 11 day off lines with 4-day trips/2 days off; I'm not a commuter, though.
- As for the other stuff, the answer is just like the incoming iPads - "Soon!!!!!" or "Free iPads Tomorrow!"

Are min days off 11 for reserve and 12 for line holders? Or is it 11 across the board?

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?

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!
