First Year FO reserves
 

What has been your average credit monthly in 2018?
I understand that it depends on what QOL you are looking for, I have friends at 72 and others at 90/month in their first year. Trying to understand what is reasonably feasible if you want to fly as much as possible on 1st year pay.

You can work as much as you want if you're willing to pick up trips on your days off.

It’s hard to say, will you be living in base? If so, there’s plenty of time you’ll get call on your days off if you’re willing to work, especially out of Vegas. If you commute, sometime there’s not enough notice to make it in for your report time.

I credited 80-85 hours living in base on the old contract.

Well you can't pick up open time trips when on reserve so it just depends. If they call you on your days off you can make some good credit but if they don't call you it's out of your control. Once you hold a regular or relief line you can do whatever you want.

Any Idea how long it is to get a Line At ACY?

I live on Long Island which is about a 3 hour drive. I know they require a 3 hour call out for reserve call out

No idea as ACY is a very small base. More of a flying club really. Honestly you would probably have much better QOL at any of the big three or Jetblue as NYC is junior for all.

Yes this. A line will take years now, we hired a bunch of FOs in ACY who are local, so the time to a line will be at least 2 years (IMO). A few years ago it was a few months to hold a line (if you wanted one, reserve goes pretty senior in ACY).

As an ACY guy, I agree with Ronny (2 years). Currently at 1 year and will slowly increase unless new block hours are added to ACY.

Im looking at ACY as a base since I live 2 hours away.. so it has a year reserve but are you flying on reserve alot? Know your trips ahead of time? More overnights then day trips? Sorry for all the questions just trying to prepare myself.
