When CS is time balancing reserve pilots what time do they use off the N6D?

I know it's 60 hours but is it act, guaranteed, or projected?

I thought they quit doing that "time balancing" garbage when we passed our most recent TA? I could be wrong; it happened once before.

It's in the contract still. I believe it's projected.

envoy will hire only for ORD ops. So I guess no more E175 slots?

Any idea how long this is expected to last?

DFW commute to ORD should be easy enough, but would prefer not to. Not quite a deal-breaker... And I have a few months before I get a class.

Your guess is as good as mine. But I'd imagine if thats the case reserve time on the 145 won't be too bad which isn't a bad thing.

Anybody ORD based that can give any detail in regards to that?

I did the DFW-ORD commute for a while and it wasn't terrible. All commuting sucks but there's 15+ AA flights a days (some on widebodies so that's like 3 jumpseats per plane), United, and Spirit also does the route. In regards to reserve on the 145 in ORD (or the CRJ) you shouldn't sit reserve for more than a couple months. 5-6 at most. One thing I will say is that the 145 still has the greatest variety in flying. You can do short hops or you can do long hops all in one trip which keeps things entertaining. The Miami flying is fun, and we're going to start overnighting in the Bahamas next month from what I saw on the NRTP on my.eaglevoyjet.com. It's really not a bad gig. Not perfect but no regional is.
