So do you guys think all the new hires will be looking at a lengthy stay on the reserve list. I'm just trying to get a feel for what would REALLY happen. What are you all averaging monthly hour wise? WIflyer, I can see how if you've been flying a significant amount the financial situation wouldn't be so much of an issue. However, if all these new hires will be sitting reserve and their use doesn't break the 75 hour guarantee, that'd be rough. I don't care if I were to be assigned the 340 or the 900, I've flown jets and I just want a decent QOL.

All depends on base and equipment when you get hired. Msp is generally harder to get and slower advancement while DTW and MEM have moved faster. Although MEM has not moved much in the past few months. Something may be going on there related to the merger.
