Yes I could have searched forums but I'd like an up to date answers on Eagle, if a few of you would be so kind. Thank you.
How many hours a month can one expect currently to be able to fly once training is finished? I have absolutely no airline experience. Corporate, and 135. No way I could make it on gaurentee so I was hoping to fly the max. Im dreaming? Reasonable if I give dispatch Wendy's coupons? ?
Second, again I have no background and this question has had me wracking my brain. Does one or must one live where domiciled or is it possible to be on reserve and commute? I can hear the laughs already. I'd just like to know.
How long is it taking to upgrade to hold a line?
Again thanks for you patience. All my colleagues are corporate. I have always had the goal of flying for the airlines. I am older and now that my kids are finally saying... "Dad, don't you have something else to do?" LOL I feel it is a perfect time to jump over.
Thanks so much!

Line hold after IOE if you're in the CRJ ORD will be like in 3 months. Emj ORD like in 7 months. CRJ LGA have little movement since a lot pilots are very juniors and they are not getting more CRJs in that base. EMJ DFW will take like 6 months. MIA EMJ is very senior will take you like 8 months or more.
ATR all bases will be fairly quick.
You can commute while on reserve, but is not recommended...

On your first day of class they'll post on the board what bases and equipment is available for bidding.
The last vacancy bid had 100 open FO positions for all bases except SJU. All jets have vacancies right now. Not sure what is going on with the ATR. They may have openings or Eagle may let the fleet dwindle down and displace everyone.
The most senior person bids first on down the line. Seniority is determined by age. Anyone who goes straight to the jet will be seat locked until they upgrade or are displaced.
One you have access to the computer you can place a bid for a different base.
Anyone who ends up in the ATR ( if there are any vacancies) will have a 1 year seat lock.
I hope this helps.
