Yea I suppose it depends on what your definition of a long time is. I guess I’ve been conditioned to think anything more than 6 months is long haha. I suppose anything is short compared to guys who sat reserve for years. All I know is the guys who went to training the same time as me who went ERJ had lines within a month or two while all of us CRJ folks were sitting reserve with not nearly the same movement. Phoenix is so stagnant I’ve pretty much given up on the idea of getting into there. Feel even worse for my buddies who live close to LA. Denver has moved reasonably quick, but not as quick as the ERJ.

Either plane will have you flying right away.

If attrition numbers, for the next few months, follow what we saw in December.... yikes. We will be in a world of hurt.

That's because all of 175 flying in LAX is new. Plenty of ERJ FOs sitting reserve is stagnant bases as well.

I’m still on reserve. Not sure when I’ll have a line in Denver. But yea…at least I’ve been flying a decent amount. One of my good friends in the class behind me flew 2 hours in December while on reserve in Denver.

I guess if your willing to commute or live in Detroit or Chicago it would be better.

MSP - all reserves are used on a daily basis. Constantly getting FOs OBR'd from other bases.

Yea forgot to add MSP. I guess it’s the same old story. The bases where no one wants to live have movement lol

I’ve been requesting OBR in Phoenix a lot. It’s the same way…all their reserves are used up quickly

well considering that all the airlines skipped at least one class in December…

Oh I fully expect it to.

OO skipped new hire classes in December?

I'm part of the 12/14 new hire class and am in ground school now. I know another classroom next door is in indoc so that's at least two new hire classes for the month of december right there
