Alright, so I'm pretty frustrated, how is it that my classmates in more senior bases can hold lines but I cant hold a line in the second most junior base (msp). If I were to commute to SFO or DTW which would be easier from MSP? Dtw has more flights but seem to have a lot more commuters. Sfo is far, but the time change could work in my favor...ideas?
But if you want to hold a line but are too junior then commute to the most junior base DTW.

Wait, what?
You WANT to become a commuter and you currently live in base???

SLC
How long to get SLC, and what would the reserve time frame look like? What would a reserve schedule look like ie: start time release time. Sorry if these are dumb questions, I'm new to the 121 market. Thanks!

Different strokes, I used to bid res and enjoy doing my projects.
I also enjoyed OBR.
Then staffing got tight and my phone rang often and I was off to a line.

You can expect a call back within 2 weeks generally, they will fly you to SLC. They can put you in class as soon as your ready and have the ATP mins. I took a month off between ATP mins and training and don't regret it. Training will take around 2 months with a 4-6 week wait for IOE for CRJ. Not sure about the training time/IOE wait for ERJ.

I have Thanksgiving as well as Dec 22nd-Jan 6th off with my current employer but will hit ATP mins late this month, so I'm trying to decide when I should make the switch. I guess I could always request a Jan class date but as you all know, seniority is everything.
I'm hoping for CRJ/PHX off the bat, could do CRJ/DEN where my home is as long as the commute isn't awful. Reading the thread it sounds like MSP/DTW is inevitable for a few months

Guys you're building valuable patience. We're experiencing a great time in the industry. Relax. Reserve sucks but it's not forever. Everything gets infinitely better once you can live in base and bid with decent seniority, but it does not happen at smart phone speed.
