I guess that is why I am not jumping at the first thing to come along. I also had to get to where if I leave the security of the federal trough and get furloughed the next month I was OK with that. I'm there now and miss flying. Trying to figure out where I can go fly but stay out of the drama and politics.

What certificate would be best for an ORD base considering reserve time and QOL?

Those are two different questions. You would probably get off reserve sooner at CHQ ORD but S5 ORD will probably give you better QOL. Although, YX is probably going to be opening (still up in the air) an ORD base and that would more than likely give you the best of both.

Most applicants for major airlines have WAY more than 1000 TPIC. If you don't, forget about it.

Go where you can get an early upgrade and fly your donkey off.
guarantee......absolutely incorrect
won't.............maybe

I agree 1000 TPIC is a nice thing to have on your resume and in the late 90's was a "must have". It is no longer something that you must have to get an interview. The people hiring these days understand the stagnation that is occuring at regional airlines and don't expect every applicant to have the 1000 PIC they used to expect.

That being said you will probably not get a look as a 6 year RJ FO with no other salient experience. With no upgrade in sight move on to something that adds to your experience and resume for example a 121 supplemental carrier flying large equipment internationally (767, 747, etc.) and you might get a look without the 1000 PIC turbine and you will make a whole lot more money than an RJ FO.

Thanks for the reply. Just talked to HR yesterday, their interview minimums are 1400. Starting March 1st they will not be interviewing anyone with less than 1500 hours.

I agree but it depends on what airline we're talking about. You might have been able to get hired onto JetBlue or Spirit with 4 figures of TPIC but now forget about it. Don't get me wrong, it does happen but those airlines are going to be stricter at weeding out the overqualified. Those sub-par payscale airlines aren't wasting their money training you now with hiring going on at United, Southwest, Airways/AA getting their new payscale and Delta hiring at the end of the year.

I see aircraft types by certificate, and bases by certificate, but I'm guessing that all type are not in every base. I see that the Q's are DEN, PIT and MCI based with Republic, what about the jets? That is the piece I haven't been able to figure out.
