Now that's honorable career progression!! Soon you'll be adding that 7-3 type, or was that a secret.

Well maybe that is a good sign in ORF. I just got awarded ORF out of training (which i am still in now). Well have to see what happens. Have the reserves in ORF been flying more lately?

Yes... and by yes i mean no. I have flown less than 15 legs this year! I was talking to a another FO reserve here in ORF who has been here about 4-5 months less than me who has just as much time in the airplane as i do. Apparently there is very little rhyme or reason to who gets to fly and who does not... I unfortunately do not fly. I actually have my PC at the end of this month and have less than 150 hours in the airplane... oh so hillarious!

That's rough, 15 legs is all in a good day here at Lakes, maybe you should come over here.

(Actually 9-10 legs is the highest I've heard of in a day here)

Glad to know that my airline isn't the only one like that...I like to call it "ping pong ball" reserve, because it's about as scientific as the lottery.

Grass-is-greener syndrome...although it could also be called "Skywest is in DEN, ORD, and now MKE with a 2 year upgrade syndrome" regarding some AWAC pilots.
