Excuse the run on sentences and grammar police
You guys bickering back and forth with reserve is going to deter the guys to come in beneath, the plug FO in the company is just as important as the #1 captain, reserve sucks everywhere and I won't jump on you for venting about it
Also just want to let the new guys know the horror stories you hear about captains and FOs with years of reserve is mostly by choice, ATL700 is insanely senior, commuting sucks but one can go from reserve in one base to top 20% in base in some cases. I don't blame guys for not commuting to a line and choosing reserve in base pick your poison. I have to commute no matter what but it's live able
I believe you can hold a line in IAD in under 3 months as they continue to hire two classes a month. Once Daddy D starts full blown hiring soon you'll see mass exodus on the CRJ side.
Hopefully when we get a new TA us veterans remember your time on reserve, I know I do. Years and years and 2 airlines later I will still vote to protect reserve, I hate this screw you pay your dues attitude from some senior guys, we are all on the same team.
And the bashing replies in 3.2.1....
