Even looking at PBS numbers in SkyWestOnline shows 144 target line holders for December. 144 on a seniority list in ORD was hired end of February, not July.
So if 9 months is roughly 4 months than yes it's correct.

End of June new hire hold a line in DTW in December, which is 5 months, Begining of June new hire will hold a line in FAT in December, which is almost 6 months. All other bases more than 6 months as of December.

Now take off the time for trainining, IOE, and all the people not bidding in ORD and I bet you are closer to 4 months. Being a smart ass almost worked for you!

I wish I'd be smartass, just a reserve guy who barely flying 30 hours a months with a "Call First" Yes and picking up extra flying on a days off. Reality is for most of the bases CRJ is as overstaffed as ERJ used to be. New hires needs to be ready for that, and not to expect line right out of training. It's no longer the case.

It looks more like 5-6 months after completion of IOE for DTW, MSP and ORD. CRJ staffing has improved on the FO side over the last year or so. Not that it shows in any ability to drop trips but the immediate move to a line as we have seen in the past is not happening right now.

Having said that, I think that SKYW is still on of the better if not the best package out there.

We are in no way over staffed on CRJ or ERJ.

Three months of training, the way ppl talk on here it's like they sat reserve the entire time

still the right play to take crj over the 175 if ORD is your base of choice, right?

For holding a line yes, there's movement on 175 but all west coast. May see some FOs move out west but only time will tell with that.

You sit reserve for three years and then you have something to complain about. Must be rough flying 30 hours a month....
