Anyhow, Eagle right now we don't know the details on our future. It really varies as far as QOL, Quality of life. You could be on reserve for a year or you could hold a line (set flying schedule). Varies on base, equipment and month. About how many days at home you will be. Well that varies as well. On the ERJ (One of the jets eagle has) you could go all overthe county on while on reserve not be home for 6 days. ATR (the turbo prop, FYI... Young guys hate it because of SJS (shiny jet syndrome)). Anyhow ATR you could be home often. You might not get DFW from day one but you might be able to bid it if the positions open, these are called vacancy bids, kind of like the dream sheet you filled. Everything is seniority (rank) you upgrade (captain) when your number is called, even if the guy ahead of you is 25 and started flying 3 years ago, if he came to the company before you he will always be senior to you. Now I have a question for you, why Eagle when you could have better options out there like Southwest, AA amongst other. Not that you want the bigger airplanes burghs Major airline carriers have a better QOL and benefits. Eagle is a good regional and thus why AMR what's it to change because people can make a decent living here (captain making 6 figure working less than half the month and spending most nights at home with family). This is why eagle is uncertain right now, the company is trying to move senior pilots so someone else can do the job at 60% of the cost. Feel free to ask other questions but Please, please, please go back and reed... Now I am asking you, know of any guard unit or resets hiring pilots?
