I am sitting here in my crashpad with junior NK pilots that don't have enough hours to realistically get hired anywhere else. Save the stickers for preschool class. Help them in a meaningful way.

At least now the pay has increased dramatically and one can actually afford to have a decent life in a major city as a first year regional FO, something a lof us never saw early in our careers.

Not ideal, but not the end of the world either. Beats a short tour in the 'Stan's for sure.

Been here two years and thats exactly what I'm doing. I have a couple new hire friennds that are stuck commuting to crash pads on "call me first" and still aren't getting trips. So I bid reserve in hopes to give those guys a chance to get some hours while I sit at home and get paid. Its a win win. Don't understand why more guys who live in base aren't bidding reserve right now. Keep updating your apps I know guys who are getting picked up with only 100hrs in the bus.
