Reserve rules: different (from what I was used to)
Everything is short call (2 hours to report, plus 45 minutes to preflight)
11 days off, 75 hours min pay. Seniority is not technically observed, the 'silo' method is used, for example: 3 people have 4 days of reserve remaining, when a 4 day trip needs a reservist the person with the lowest block hours for the month is called. If a 2 day is open, someone with only 2 days of reserve remaining is called, if no one is available then the person with 3 days of reserve remaining is called, etc.
Reserve periods typically are 0400 - 1900, 0800 - 2300, 1100 - 0200.
Same commuter policy I've always seen, we must give ourselves 2 options. If you call scheduling a day before reserve starts they can occasionally assign you a late reserve period (11 am - 2 am).

Crew Scheduling will help you if they can. For the most part, they are fair. Trips are awarded as described above. There are five Reserve Availability Periods (RAPs). RAP 1 is 0400-1900, RAP 2 is 0800-2300, RAP 3 is 1100-0200, RAP 4 is 1400-0500, and RAP 5 is 1900-1000 (not used very often).

Anyone know if new hires are getting MSP? I am at 9L and considering trying to switch so i can be based at home. Seems MSP base here would be a long time. Plus the ATP and PIC type are tempting

The classes have generally had both bases available. It took 2 months for someone in my class to get msp. Started in Nov, hit the line in FEB, and April I think they got msp. Lately people have gotten right off the bat.

Well i just started at 9L, but wont have 1500tt for a couple months. Hopefully the offer from HR that ill get an interview at 1500 still stands. What are your thoughts on the future? Would you give up 150 below you and holding a line? Im based in BOS and two leg it from North Carolina, but planning on moving home to MSP in the next 6 months

I had no internal recommendations and it seems to me from what I have seen/heard is once you've had your stuff in for 6-12 months, if you update and have the "magic" stuff on your resume they are looking for, you'll get a call. Take it for what its worth, just seems to be what I hear a lot. Good luck guys!!
