What is the training footprint? If I was (hypothetically)hired tomorrow, when would I be on line? How many classes per Month?

Thanks In Advance...

Four weeks of classrooms followed by 5 FTDs, 10 sims, and the checkride. For me it took 55 days. Others is my class are over 90 and not done yet due to scheduling. Rough math for my class alone is the average is about 70 days from day one to OE.

They run two classes a month.

Depending on sim 70 days sounds correct. To a line in NYC and ATL on the 200 has been quick, guys are bidding over the 900 asap. You sit reserve for 2 months and it feels like your buddies on the 900 are sky rocketing ahead of you on the 9. Then a new vacancy posts, boom, you have weekends off and a commutable line. The 900 guys then slow progression. I'm not sure how this new seat lock will effect reserve times. With the hiring coming in I'd exect 2 months or so to stay the norm on both aircraft.

People sure don't enjoy 1 day off at a time. I never met a pilot who in the bus says "heck yeah I have one off!" It's a way to manipulate the system for more time off. If you choose to sit reserve you will get an extra day off, or better commuter rules to commute to a line with many more days off.

You are clearly a flipping genius... you must not be on reserve or don't have a clue how it works here. This was the way it has always been for reserves. ALWAYS...what little QOL we have this stipulation of 2 on 1 off really has helped some have a few more nights at home. It's not about avoiding work you tool...it's about having more time in your own bed if you live in base. Reserve at this company is a complete disaster and our union made reserve worse for those of us stuck on reserve. if you knew anything about reserve rules here you wouldn't be such a blow hard about this part of our pilot group.

Seeking recommendations for App review/interview prep services. From what I could find from the Google machine Cage Marshall is a must if you have a UAL interview (Alpa discount too), Emerald Coast is also good especially for Delta/FedEx.

Anyone else have experiences they can share?

Otherwise your complaints would fall on deaf ears because you're choosing to be miserable.

You heard it from this guy everyone, reserve is awful here, and commuting is your only solution.

... ... Unless you just love reserve in MSP or DTW, especially 2 on 1 off when they can barely use you, making you functionally useless as a reserve pilot. That's impossible though, because reserve is death.

Granted this may not matter to commuters who stack their days together, but for any of us that live in base on reserve it's a huge QOL hit.

It was a gate sawp. AA wanted to consolidate all on one end, which allowed Delta to consolidate closer to their club in the terminal (minus the CDG flight which has to be at the end of C for customs).
