Any DFW FOs here?
For any DFW pilots....
1. What’s the current reserve time as an FO in DFW?
2. Any word on DFW growing from the current 20 airplanes? And if so when and or by what rate?
3. When upgrading if in DFW, will you pretty much head right back to a Junior base and take even longer to get back to Dallas? Or are the majority of captains in Dallas moving on to a mainline carrier ASAP? Or is Dallas full of lifers to SkyWest?
Thank you....

I’m an FO in Dallas. I’ve been here just under three years and am right on the edge of holding captain there right now. There are some very senior people in the base, but it drops down to my seniority pretty quickly. I don’t think there are many lifers in the abse compared to our west. The flying is pretty bad right now, hopefully as the base grows it will get better. Lots of three to four hour sits, for low credit. It’s just very inefficient

1. Most junior line holder in DFW is a late 2017 hire.
2. Like it was stated above no, but 20 planes can crew approx. 100 crews.
3. Most junior CA in DFW is Jan. 2016 hire.
It goes senior from the top but goes drastically junior. July 2018 hire was just awarded DFW FO. Reserve of course.
