Hey guys looking to jump into the Part 121 world with AW and I have a few questions if a current FO/CA wouldn’t mind answering them:1) Which base can a new hire expect out of training and how long can I expect to be on reserve for? (going to commute from PHX for the time being)
2) How many hours are FOs on reserve flying lately?
3) Lots of open time or little open time?
4) How long to upgrade?
5) Any talk of a new contract? More pay? Retention bonus?
6) Are some of the crew bases going to close with the change to American? For example IAD? Any rumors on any new ones?

IAD was the most junior base but its likely getting canned with american taking over. he said expect DAY for most junior base.
Reserve he said took him 6 months to get off, and got between 15-25 hrs per month while on reserve.
Thats about all the info that I have for you regarding AW, not really sure much more about it. I am interviewing with them late next month and looking for info like this too.
