There's going to be a lot of growth coming up in ORD with the American 700s. They've awarded 50 captain upgrades to ORD in the last two months. The most junior captain at the company is now ORD and not DTW or MSP anymore.

The reason reserve times have increased is most likely because they're increasing staffing for that new flying. Be patient and you won't be sitting reserve for 9 months in ORD.

 

Is Delta getting any of the 700s from United or are they all going to American?

 

Yes, a handful but mostly replacements for older 700s.

 

Hate to ask the question that gets asked every few pages here...been reading for awhile and just seeing what people say. Trying to get out what the recruiters say to what I should expect. Going to class Jan 2 on the CRJ. My CTP is Dec 7. I heard I'll get paid the minimum 65 hours and I'll get that check in my ground school, that's correct right?

I want to take a junior base on the CRJ preferably would like to live in MSP. Are the trips any different or QOL going to be drastically different between that or ORD? Also, I'm a cadet that has access to skywest online. I just can't figure out how to calculate the time on reserve like you guys do? I know how to find the vacancy report and senority list for bases but how do you guys figure out how long it is to hold a line? Also, you're saying the time to hold a line is including ground school, sims, IOE? I preferred trying to get DEN or COS but it seems like it might take a long time to hold those bases on the CRJ especially since they're cutting back flying out of DEN, it's a long shot I assume? Will someone help with this when we get into ground school?

Greatly appreciated!

 

Yes you get paid for CTP and ground. I think it took us 3 weeks before we saw a check but it was a hefty one. Three weeks worth I'm pretty sure.

Have you found the PBS stuff? You can look through the pairings for each domicile as well as look at the bid info page which will show guaranteed/targeted line holders.

 

Yes. PBS page. Right hand side..

 

Is there any sort of bidding for an open/available reserve trip the day before with skywest?

 

Sweet, found the PBS page. On MSP it says reserve lines for MSP are 49 FO's on the CRJ. Sounds like a lot. How do you guys see how that equals how long you'll be on reserve for? I don't have access to how to bid and the pairings doc just looks like the schedules that are given out ?
