Yes, just like all the other bases.

The contract says that the company can make 0% of the lines as long call reserve lines. All they have to do is schedule a meeting with the union, and bs then for a few minutes.

And it has been scheduled, flew with a guy from the union who said that they were getting ready to meet with the company to start to discuss this as well as a few other issues

It's just about 1 month for everyone - maybe 2 at the most if you're the most junior in your class.

I had one month of reserve and then lines with 90+ hours.

Default How long to get dtw base

I was wondering if I'm hired and sent to lax how long it would take me to get dtw as a base. Also any word on them closing dtw or downsizing it?

Thanks

Where have most of the new hires been doing their sims? I'm debating about bringing my car to MSP if I'm going to end up sent somewhere else.

Also I assume a hotel room is paid for if you go somewhere else for sims? Is it shared rooms? How about per diem?

What's the timeline from orientation to IOE?

I was told 5-8 weeks after the month of home study, that's quite the range. Is there much of a backlog with check pilots or instructors?

Hotel IS paid for if sims done outside of MSP. Some new-hires for sure will be doing SIMS in STL, so hope for that if you don't live in MSP. Pretty certain it would be single occupancy hotel room, but not positive. Per Diem also will be paid out during any training outside of MSP.

From the 1-day orientation until completion of last SIM event is around 2.5 months (Includes the homestudy). Expect a lengthy wait (not even going to guess) for IOE. This will be do to the amount of available check airmen. You have to get a minimum of 25 hours of IOE.
