New to the 121 world and have a class date for the 18th. I understand that IAD is where I'll be going out of training. I'm fine with that. However I'd like Phoenix which it'll take a bit but I'm wondering, how long is a new hire on reserve? How long to hold a line?

I was awarded Phoenix for September and next month would be the first month that I'd be able to feasibly hold a line if I wanted.

That being said, someone hired today would be facing different circumstances and possibly a longer wait to get out west. Earlier this year PHX grew with the addition of a few CRJ 900s as well as FOs upgrading, which caused a lot of movement on the PHX FO side of things. Unless PHX gets more flying, someone hired today wouldn't make it out west as fast as I did.

At republic it took me almost 12months to be awarded the base I wanted and almost another 12 months to get off reserve in that base. People here are upgrading in less time than that!

You try MagPBS? They don't do the pilot lounge but can answer any question you got.

I'm changing bases starting in December, however, Flica will only show me December open time, trade board, etc. for my current base. Do you just have to sit SAP out for the month when you change bases?

If VV does answer the phone, say "knock knock" and I bet 50 bucks she won't say "who's there"...she'll say "we are not required to engage in knock-knock jokes, per contract" (click).
