Once on property you can do a base trade, assuming there is someone wanting to trade with you. The odds are very low that our senior Den guys want to trade after they have been wanting Den for a decade plus. Den, ORD and LAX will grow for sure. Make me want to rethink not living back on the west coast.

App is in. Waiting for a call as an off-the-street new-hire. That being said, I have a few questions:

1) Will there tend to be more short or long call reserve lines? I notice under the current rules that there is a pay difference between the two. Will that stay or go away?

2) Commuter clause?

3) As a reserve pilot, are there ways to earn hours/credits on top of the guarantee?

I know current work rules are subject to change but answers to the way things are done now and or your best guesses to the way these topics may be handled under any new contract are appreciated.

Nobody will know that until we see the TA.

2) Commuter clause?
Same as above but I pretty sure there will be some language in reference to commuters.

3) As a reserve pilot, are there ways to earn hours/credits on top of the guarantee?
If you fly over guarantee you get paid for that whether or not you'll be flying over guarantee depends on your seat, fleet, base and demand.

so are we realistically looking at mid next year before people who don't know people even have a chance to get a call? I have good qualifications but only have 1 letter of rec.

Since the topic of LORs was mentioned, just how many LORs does someone typically have on file? I'm not talking about internals, but non-internal recs. Thanks.

One CP a while back told me (in his opinion) that if you have over 3 LOR's, you must be hiding something. Others believe the more the better. It just depends on the person doing the hiring.

Sometimes. I got an interview at the dream major and went in with 5 mint LORs--each from checkairmen in my previous flying, all who had flown checkrides with me and wrote glowing comments, all who were now currently at the airline I was interviewing at.

The retired pilot interviewer trashed me up one side and down the other and then they asked me to leave by the back door.

So the back door led to the New Hire Classroom, right? Is that what this means?

If someone doesn't walk in with your résumé to their cpo, u pretty much don't stand a chance for a while. That's how it works. U can have 10 recs, but if nobody's goes to the office u won't get moved to the next stack.
