I got Houston right out of training. Hey Booker, was that really 6mos. on reserve, or 6mos. from your class date?

Yep, it was actually six bid periods (months) on reserve. My DOH was 8/29, I finished IOE around 11/10, and May is my first month with a relief line. I was number 67 in the second round for May; I'm number 25 for June, but a few people bid down (for days off, I'm guessing).

Also, to add to the response about trips out of IAH, once you get a relief line you can do some shuffling with your schedule via trip trades, especially if you're concerned about trip length. I live in IAH, and I haven't spent a single night in a hotel yet this month. You've really got to watch open time like a hawk, though, to make it work.

What are the mins for Scenic??? It seems like a great starting point.

Anyone know where I can get a seniority list?

Which one?

It's going to be longer than three months in EWR right now because there is little to no movement at the moment. When we were hiring and upgrading like crazy the first half of the year, that was when three months (it happened to me) was the norm. Someone hitting the line this month is probably going to sit reserve at least through early next year I would think, unless we start hiring or upgrading more. Attrition out of 2800 or so pilots is only about 12-16/month right now.

You quoted a post from 6 years ago

Necropost!

IBTL :D

Yeah I realized that too late and just said "screw it."

He is right though we have quit hiring for the time being. Rumor is starting again in the fall. (I'll believe it when I see it) As far as IAH, you will not get it at first because all the last new hires got CLE or EWR. I am one of those trying to get to Houston with no hope in sight unless we hire again.
