Yeah, beause you worked really hard to aquire a whole 600 hours......
I'm really tired of FO's who haven't worked out side of 121 talk about how they are burned out from instructing for 3-400 hours. You are in the wrong career if you get burned out that easily. Enjoy reserve.

I instructed and I absolutely hated it. There is nothing wrong with wanting to get to the 121 world as fast as you can. 121 is his goal and he wants to get there as quick as possible. Some people just dont like instructing. I was burned out from instructing as soon as I got done with my CFI checkride.
C'mon, don't be "one of those" bitter guys. I've instructed for a year and a half, haven't flown as much as I'd like to and am burnt out from it FOR THAT reason. Students cancelling, weather holding you back, etc....you don't get paid for any of that crap. I'd rather sit reserve than deal w/ that stuff. I can find so many things to do on my spare time. At least you can budget your minimum guarantee while on reserve! I can't do that while instructing. Don't be so bitter just because you had to instruct for a decade.
). I'm just sick of people who think putting on the uniform and collecting min guarantee is the end all. Enjoy where you are at when the time is right the right place will find you.

Lowest reserve times? Depends on which Aircraft...
MSP is senior on everything...
MEM is probably most junior...
DTW has better flying...
it really doesnt matter where you go your going to be sitting reserve for awhile...I came in in January of this year and I've sat reserve every month until next...im the last line in MSP...but i live here so i'll deal with that...my seniority still says i would be on reserve in DTW...and i would hold a low line in MEM so my guess is you'll sit reserve at least 6 months...but it depends on A/C

Just because you want something doesn't mean you deserve it. I want a million dollars. The whole point is what you're willing to put in determines your character. I think we are plenty stocked up on people who don't have the desire to be a pilot, but they would rather put on the uniform and call themselves an airline pilot.
I'm burned out from people saying "wow I have never shot an approach this low" when the visibility is <1 mi. I'm burned out on people with a 1,000 hours talkling about building time for the upgrade. You are not here to build time. You are here as a required crew member that is your job. I'm not bitter about what I had to do to get where I am I enjoyed all the jobs I had before working in 121(I definatly didn't instruct for a decade). I'm just sick of people who think putting on the uniform and collecting min guarantee is the end all.
Enjoy where you are at when the time is right the right place will find you.

You are judging all reserve pilots to not doing a good job and only wanting to collect money?
