They sent a email out to everyone to apply to be a LCA. But that is a long process… won’t help for months..

They offered me the switch around week 4 of waiting. Around 1/3 of our class took it. The others stayed with the CRJ. They’ll have waited 6 weeks between indoc and ground school when they start ground school. Not sure if/when they'll keep offering the switch, or who to

It may sound absurd but getting full reserve pay, a seniority number, and travel benefits is a pretty sweet deal all things considered.

It was a little over a year ago when no one was hiring/training anywhere and thousands of pilots were out of work, furloughed, stuck in training, or on some form of reduced pay leave.

if the “1998” is an accurate birth year for you, you’ll have plenty of time to work and fly the next 40+ years of your life.

Standing ovation clap. Well said….

New hire here with a CTP date about a month and a half away. I anticipate being asked to be in a wedding in April 2023 and by that time I should be a very junior FO on the ERJ. What are the chances of getting the time off I need, or how difficult is it to swap schedules with the lack of pilots we're seeing lately? Just trying to figure out whether or not I need to lower my expectations and turn down the opportunity in advance.

use a golden day.. (right click on sked+) you will know what im talking about at a later date..

I've heard of golden days but only in passing. Good to know I have options and *probably* won't have to let someone down at the last moment. Thanks!

You'll be fine. Lots of options. Gold day, swapping reserve days, or just call out. If you know that's a possibility than you can do your best to not call out for other stuff and keep your number of callouts lower. One of the great things about the airlines. If you have something more important to do than work, you just call EMER and say I'm not coming in. No questions asked as long as you rarely do it.

Calling out to attend an intervie… oh I mean a wedding doesn’t look good

I wish it were an interview
