Everyone 10 years ago wanted it!!! Fast forward 10 years. Half those guys are gone. The other half are not on reserve anymore!! So guess who’s stuck with this policy..... the Jr guys that weren’t even here when we wanted it...

Proffering by itself is desirable. The way it was implemented is where the screw up happened.

As far as I can tell, SAPA was just asleep at the wheel. They simply screwed up...

Unfortunately the "Employer of choice" is using it to it's full advantage with no regards to the pilot group. There's no going back.

What's great is they are offering the same screwed up system to the Flight Attendants, they're telling them the pilots "love it".

I have talked to two different crew scheduling supervisors and they both hate the system. They both specifically said they are burning through every reserve they have five days prior. The trips never go to 150% so who would want to help out

How reasonable would an MSP base be for a new hire to get out of training? If not right away, within a few months?

Got another CJO but the attractiveness of not commuting is strong.

For awhile nobody was getting MSP. I think it's pretty junior these days again. My buddies from flight school were getting it assigned in training.

Right now it won't take long at all. I would be willing to bet you could get it right out of training or very shortly there after.
