Could anybody speculate how long a newbie would sit on reserve at iad? Sorry if this is a silly question...

More than a year? Yes, if you're on the CRJ side and things stay how they have been. You never know, there are guys here that had been on reserve for 3 years at one point, and new 2011 hires (ERJ) that were on reserve for only a few months.

Based on what we know right now (pilots, not management) reserve will be over a year on the CRJ, but that could change at any time. For August, the most junior line holder in Atlanta (assuming no pre-assigned credit or vacation low) is probably a May 2008 hire, but it was probably an October 2010 hire in July since we didn't hire between June 2008 and September 2010. The most junior line holder in IAD and DTW (same assumptions) are probably April 2011 and March 2011 respectively. I looked at the seniority list and pilot assignment lists and very roughly figured about 18% reserves to come up with these numbers, except for Atlanta, which I approximated from my August bid.
Reserve is not bad if you live in base.

No one hired in 2011 is holding a line in DTW without vacation or pre-assigned credit. Most junior line holder in IAD is an April 2011 hire.

So I bumped into 2 different captains in the crew room the other day, they had just been in recurrent, and told me some news. Apparently ASA has more or less secured the Miami Eagle flying and that our over water converted 200's are doing the flying. They also said that the Dallas base was also going to be likely operated by ASA. Anybody else hearing this? Sounds quite a bit optimistic...
