What are the avg reserve times and most senior to junior bases!

Sigh, it is back again making new threads. Thought you went to Mesa?

 

Chicago is the most junior by far. Only one month of reserve guaranteed. You’ll upgrade there as soon as you get your 2500/1000 too. /s

 

Seems like every FO base with the exception of Chicago can be had out or within a few months of training. With the amount of FOs leaving for better opportunities & in the upgrade pipeline, reserve shouldn’t be longer than a few months. FOs hired today can likely expect 18-24 months until upgrade.

How is the commute and QOL living near DTW?

 

Go to Endeavor

 

Living near DTW? Just a guess here, but, I think you'd want a base that has a lot of Delta flights, say LGA or BOS. Between Delta, American and Spirit, there are about a dozen non stops a day to LGA. (the three AA's are ours so you'd get priority over folks from other air lines). DTW to CMH, you'd have about 5 a day, all ours. With a driving back up, 3.5hrs? Seems like a lot of driving but on a 3 or 4 day wouldn't be too bad and a pad in CMH is likely to be a lot cheaper.

Someone else with experience in commuting will add to this I'm sure, I'm lucky enough to live between two bases so other than picked up trips in other bases, I don't commute. What I did above was simply pick the LGA base then go to Google Flights and look for flights, one way, direct, between DTW and LGA. (this excludes the cargo folks of course) If you do this with other bases you'll be able to see the flights between the two. If you go up to one stop, you'll see more but that seems a whole other level of torture to me.

I think this is Random's way of saying, commuting is no fun at all. Much better to live in base if you can.

 

DTW-LGA normally is an ugly commute, particularly on Delta. North Terminal airlines are a better bet to New York.

 

skywest wouldn’t be a bad option either. New hires are getting Dtw again plus upgrades are running about a year sooner than edv. (at the moment). Not sure at republic.

 

Anyone know how easy/hard is it to commute from MCO to LGA? My buddy told me it’s pretty easy since a lot of flights “specifically delta” goes up to LGA
