I'm still confused about reserve time in ORD. Cruz said a few pages back that he was in class in January and started bidding in April and has a composite line for July, yet RJSCUM was hired a year and a half ago and held his first line in May.

Alright, I'll go back to adhering to Social Media policy, bullet point #6. Have a good day, gentlemen.

Because I know more than you do? That gives you a bad name? I think you give yourself a bad name well enough on your own. Have a good day!

The number of lines has gone up a bit each month so that's why I was able to hold a line possibly sooner than those hired before me.

There's different bidding strategies as well for PBS, I needed days off so I bid straight reserve in April. How Cruz landed a composite while other guys from my class were bidding to avoid reserve at all costs is beyond me.

At 2 years in ORD I hold weekends off. We only have 10 reserves for July. Reserve time is short unless people choose to bid reserve.

So how quickly could a new hire expect to get off reserve?

It's official I'll be in the Sept. 22 CRJ class. Can't wait to get out there and start training.

Guess I better learn how to fly real soon, huh?

Thank you sir! 1 dinner at Lofte's was enough to convince me that I'm gonna need a few trips to the local supermarket and cook a bunch of my own food (somehow.)

But the beer wasn't bad.
