Quote: I wish I only flew 20 hours a month of reserve. I've flown 40-50 hours every month on reserve since OE in sept. CA reserve is abusive in CLT. At 25 hours this month already with a few cancellations.
You’re the first I’ve heard flying that much. Makes sense since most of our flying is out of CLT though. I think we’re also fatter on FOs than captains at the moment.

Go to ORF! I’ve flown 3 hours last month and 9 the month before and 7 the month prior currently sitting at 0 this month.

A lot of the FO's are saying they don't fly a lot. But I get used and abused frequently

I used to be in ORF...i'd rather not go back. Wish they'd just close it.

as a reserve captain... don’t you want maximum time? Turbine pic is the only thing you can get, the more the better

sure...but 40-50 hours of block every month..used every single day either for hot reserve or the classic carolina turn. Never breaking guarantee. Efficiency at its finest.

I’ll second that! What a waste. I think we do like 6 departures a day now....

no not really the “1000 TPIC” hasn’t gotten many of us a call. I am sitting at over 3000 TPIC and just got a call from UPS. And I have no failed check rides no black marks no speeding tickets. It cracks me up when the young guys are like I need a 1000 TPIC! It doesn’t magically get you hired. There are so many guys out there with 7000 TT and 3000-5000 PIC that haven’t been called yet. I think this is changing fast but not there yet! But hey fly your heart out so I don’t have to!

Yeah but those guys that aren’t getting calls usually aren’t volunteering for anything, networking or even trying. Most guys I talk to here don’t even update their apps if they even have them out there.

11 a day. Which is actually more than TYS does. Also ORF was opened at the request of mainline, as a MX location for all the DCA and PHL aircraft. So ORF is here for the foreseeable future. Better chance of DAY or TYS closing.
