So I'd plan on 6 months or more. RSV here sucks unimaginably, especially if you don't commute.

Rick Dubinsky just gave the company unlimited 16hr days for RSV pilots in the new TA. You better hope the 117 rules still count RAP as duty in the future...
Why wouldn't they keep the RAP in the regulation in the future. It's one of the better parts of the regulation.

Is reserve a long time for the Q400 new hires as well? My understanding is that Republic is having a tough time staffing those.

Q400 senior FOs are all June 2012 hires. With the current shrinking of Chautauqua, upgrades here will continue to be 6-7 years. If you got hired on the Q today, you would have to wait until the senior FOs upgrade before you would see movement. You will end up as a junior reserve pilot until then. Make sense?

32 days in this bid month and i have 12 days off. Yes the CBA says 11 and I wouldn't count on more than that but i'm just sharing my experience.

To add though I'd agree that S5 seems fairly stable and if you get into and are ok with staying at a junior base like LGA or CMH, you could hold a line quickly. 3 months out of IOE and i'd have a line in LGA if I stayed. Couldn't pass on driving to ORD instead.

Q new hires may bid into the 170 after two years. So it'd be at least two years for any meaningful movement.

Thanks. Just the those hired to fly the Q are given the $5000 bonus, correct? And not the 170?
