The possible merger(s) mentioned above are simply premature assumptions. Parker mentioned consolidating US Airways carriers under the American Eagle "brand" and of course, some will assume that to mean a merger. Nothing's been decided about any of the affected regionals yet and aside from PRESENT status of being wholly owned by their parents, the 3 carriers above have little in common. There might or might not be a merger of any of the 3 and there may or may not be divestiture of any or all the 3 carriers as well.
Right now, "rumor" is accurate and nothing more. In fact, I'd include the term "baseless" in there as well as of now. If Parker doesn't know yet, you can be sure a management "source" or pilot doesn't either.

Been here almost 2 years and still on rsv. Senior and I generally prefer reserve than crappy 4 day trips (I live in base) but getting 85-90 credit hours of flying would be nice than just the 75 I get on reserve.

It's possible if you can ever get off reserve. On reserve, the best you can ever hope for is a "free" day off if you bid schedules that cause you to have more than 6 on between months.

Total flight time was around 640. I'm a line holder. Usually cancelation is what made me work less and have more pay.
I also try to underblock as much as I can. Makes me work less and have more money.
I do live in base now, but will start commuting soon.

I'm in the March 4th S5 class and we got our schedules a couple of days ago. Class is Monday through Friday with weekends off, but there is a caveat that sim training may include weekends depending upon sim availability.
