Assuming you want to "sit" reserve as a Capt. Movement at the bottom of the f/o list is fast, not so much on the ca list. Trust me, you don't want to sit reserve any longer than necessary, and ca reserve is a longer than newhire. You will want to quit....

Mesa, medical insurance will eat nearly 50-65% of your pay. I agree, Compass would be a good choice.

If you are insuring a family of 5....

I pay $120 a month and I have full medical vision & dental....

How many other regionals have CAs downgrading back to f/o? More than a few at SKYW.

I can see that from a SLC guy upgrading into a junior domicile and having buyers remorse. But not a person living East or in domicile downgrading.

Happened in ORD. With hiring picking up at majors, you will see it less. Just goes to show how horrible it is to be on reserve here.

I think Compass is a solid choice. I haven't heard any complaints about the ride over there. It may be different soon though, as they're facing challenges as well. Their training department really has to step it up soon it sounds like to get upgrades done.

Never work for a Hulas owned corporation if you have the choice!
