The answer above my reply is the exact way to determine it, but if you’re not a part of the company yet, then as an approximation, once you reach 80% seniority, you might be able to hold a hybrid line (part reserve, part line) and then once you reach approximately 70-75% seniority, you might have enough to hold a line all the time. It’s impossible to give an exact number because the amount of flying changes every month so it’s somewhat of a moving target.

there’s a “guaranteed” lineholders number on the PBS page on SWOL (not the pbs website, that only shows targeted). Divide that by the number of active bidders to get your answer. It changes every month though.

Thanks guys. Not quite on the line yet but I'll pretty much be able to hold a line right out of training for ORD CRJ. Nice.

SWOL Access
 
Any idea when, on average, new hires will get access to SWOL? I'm currently inside 90 days from indoc and only have access to the cadet side of things (which is basically nothing). Not trying to be an eager-beaver... just curious.

your SWOL will update a day or two into INDOC.

probably not - you need to be at 75% of active bidders per PBS and not based on pilots in base per SWOL. Junior bases have a lot of folks that are not qualified yet (no IOE etc). So they cannot bid.

I should have clarified, I'm referring to the onboarding tasks found in SWOL that need to be completed prior to indoc.

Dang, yeah forgot to factor that part - thanks

That can depend though, I've seen occurrences where the guaranteed lineholders number is actually equal to or greater than the number of bidders. That often leaves newhires finishing training with pairings getting assigned instead of reserve. It's pure luck and timing though.

Starting indoc in 2 weeks. Should I be receiving any communications additional to the prerequisite stuff submitted on SWOL awhile back? i.e, CTS,CPAT etc.
Thanks..

Disregard. Read it above. It's last minute.
