Reserve depends on the base but in general assume 6-10 month reserve. Upgrade is around the 3 yr mark +/- a few months

No we haven't and won't be for quite some time. Starting in November is slated for 10/month all the way to April. We have a pool to fill all those classes. Subject to change of course.

So that is why I posted the questions. Great info by everyone and appreciate the responses but which is true on the amount currently being scheduled for initial a month. Is it really 40 or 10? Thanks in advance

We have 122 airframes and 55 more on current order. That will yield plenty of hiring. Upgrades will definitely depend on next order. Hopefully we will hear something in the next few months. Rumors are out there but until there is a firm order, it means nothing. Any base is obtainable within a decent time frame (even MCO went more junior than I expected) and reserve might be a month or 6-12 depending on base and growth in that base. If your truly are interested in coming here, the wait will be negligible in the grand sceme of things and just something to deal with you’re first year. Good luck and I hope your times are competitive and you will be able to visit the next “meet the chiefs”. That seems to really help.
