I'm a 5/15 hire. IOE completed in August. PHL base. Bidding senior reserve. I've been able to hold Thanksgiving and Christmas off. Probably a couple more months before I'll hold a line. So 7-8 months.
I prefer reserve right now, I live near the airport, and I don't need to build any more time. So every day I don't fly, I'm happy. I'm flying around 20 hours a month.
If I stayed in LGA, I would have had a line @ 5 months. EWR would have been about the same.
These times are going to keep increasing because of how many pilots they have hired and no new growth yet.

IND only took me 3 months to hold a line. You can get an idea of when you’ll get one by looking at the most junior line-holder on Flica each previous month to see a rough estimate on how many folks are getting lines ahead of you.

Lazy Sunday....I looked up some of our classmates from 5/15, the only folks I saw with lines are IND, CMH and most of LGA. There are still a couple from that class in LGA that are on reserve.

I have an interview coming up in December. 91/135 guy. I know these class pushback dates are great PTO. I’m definitely not the type of guy looking for the quickest time out of IOE, however, it makes me a little uneasy being 6 months out from training. So many things happen weekly in the regional world. It might be hard to sign a contract to wait and then things could shift so quickly. But, it is the way of the airlines. Just my .02 that mean nothing.
