Sounds correct to me. Assuming I'm reading it correctly, according to the February seniority list, there are @ 240+ FO's on the list that are still in training somewhere at the time it was published....

All the classes on delays should be done with IOE April, May, June. By that time flying will pick up quite a bit for the summer. Although, we still would have to pick up additional flying to benefit the pilot group, but even if YX doesn’t right away I don’t see us becoming excessively overstaffed. Some are predicting 1+ year reserve times. I don’t see that happening.

I don’t either, at least not at junior bases. I’m on a training delay right now, resuming indoc on 4/3, and I’m expecting about a month on reserve. I’m sort of close to the top of the training delay list though, and I think my base is one of those that is a little short on reserves right now. I’m thinking as soon as the guys in the class behind me get off OE, I should be able to hold a line, I hope.

I guess by “sort of close to the top” I really meant “top half”. Either way, after studying a whole lot of numbers and watching how lists move (yeah I have too much time on my hands lol), I feel pretty confident I won’t have more than a month or two on reserve, if that. For what it’s worth, I did run all this by a friend of a friend who is a senior YX CA, and he said he agreed with my thinking. If I’m wrong, oh well... reserve isn’t the end of the world.

I wouldn’t try to guess how long your reserve time would be at YX or what upgrade time will be. Currently we are definitely overstaffed, which is one of the reasons the company is manipulating pairing construction. They could make every line 75 hours, but you would still have to have minimum reserve coverage.
