It really depends on if we get the extra 20 ERJ's, if we dont you'll be on reserve for the next 2 years probably.

It'll be interesting. They have to fill classes to staff the deliverys. Do they wait until a small class shows up? Or preemptively do somthing now to ensure full classes.
I know guys here thinking about bailing to AAs WO. They don't have 1000 sic so the asap upgrade isn't a factor.

If you can get into a class in the next few months, expect to be on reserve for two months or less. Right now everyone on reserve is flying, captains are getting extra flying every day, FOs fly too much.

We are due for an economic slowdown. The airlines' CASM is increasing and profit margins are decreasing. Lower fuel cost has been the primary driver for the profit and the reported incomes are pre-tax earnings. Additionally, age 67 is a real possibility since the policy window has opened. When majors stop hiring again, where do you want to be? I think that is the question they should ask themselves. There is a reason these are bonuses that can disappear overnight.

My understanding is even the Reserve guys are getting trips before they even start the day. We are short handed and a little understaffed so everyone is flying.
