I just took a look at our pairings out of ORD for December and there aren't many MSN overnights, but we do overnight there. What usually makes a pairing people want is high credit and not as much where the overnight is. Just my experience. PM me if there are any other questions you would like answered. Most importantly, welcome!

Thank you very much!

Does anyone have info on SFO commuter hotels?

I wouldn't go to the city garden. The red roof and vagabond are two that I've heard give a limited number of airline discounts. UAL's bid comes out prior to ours so I never got the discount. Don't know about the on airport sleep facility, but saw it posted in the crew lounge. I used the extended stay America a few stops east on the bus once. Decent room for a decent price, 80-90$. Crash pads were a no go. Wanted 900$ to start. First and last plus 100$ deposit.

Hey guys, looking for some updated information on the airline.

1. What is the current upgrade time?
2. Can a new-hire pick-up enough flying to hit 100/hrs month, 1000/year on any of the fleets?
3. What is the current reserve wait time?
4. How long does it take to hold DEN these days?
5. What bases can be held straight out of initial?
6. What's the average after-tax take home monthly pay for those of you still on first year pay?

How much is a few? I might have missed it, but I haven't seen 6 posted anytime recently. Just went back and skimmed through over 100 posts and didn't see it.

1. 2 years
2. Yes. But I get nowhere near 100hrs of block a month but I always credit close to 100. I get credit more if I was a workaholic. I know some guys crediting 125hours a month.
3. Depends on your base. If you go to DTW, basically you'll get a line as soon as your able to bid (depends what day of the month if you finish IOE, so you could get reserve for as little as 3 weeks-2 months), or you could go to a different base and be on reserve for much longer. It's a dynamic environment right now.
4. DEN is close to 6-8 months from new hire start date (plan 2-4 months for training). Again, this is also dynamic. Feb 2016 hires got Denver before finishing training.
5. E175: LAX, SFO. CRJ: ORD, MSP, DTW
6. Depends on deductions and how much you fly or if you are reserve etc but I've seen anywhere from $2000-3200 takehome per month pay first year.
