It's 99.999999% CRJ-700 with a few 200 trips being created. We start DFW-SGU in September I think.

No those should be hire (class) dates.

Hmmm..... OK, but Warm Body's post in June said he was on reserve for July and he's an Oct hire. Now it says a late April hire holds DFW? I've been watching this for a few months and I know the dates on the web site did not jump from Oct to April in a month. Somethin' somewhere ain't right.

Junior FO line holder in DFW will probably be a 10/3/18 DOH for August. Junior FO in DFW is a 4/23/19 DOH. Reserve staffing seems rather high in DFW. Somewhere between 25-35 reserves for 70 lines of flying. August is usually a rather busy month and things slow down in the fall reducing the number of line holders.

Oh! Duh! I was thinking the dates on the website were lineholder dates.

Probably six months. It’s an always changing target.

Lol no, there are Oct ‘18 hires still on reserve there.
People are starting to come into DFW once they can hold a line there, which means the bottom stays at the bottom regardless of movement.
By the time these guys can hold a line, they’ll probably just upgrade instead.

My Oct 18 hire friend disagrees with you but whatever. That is why I said it is an always changing target. By the time this person gets hired and done with training it could be less or more than that. It’s a ballpark range.

Anyone know if it would be quicker to hold a line in DEN for a new hire with the growth that’s happening there?
