I’m bidding 50% in DEN as an FO. 80-85 credit hours with 11-12 days off a month pretty consistently. I’m considering putting a transfer bid in for PSP. Seems like the lines out there give 13-18 days off with 65ish hours of credit. Are those FOs all flying composite lines or are they able to waive the 76 credit hr minimum? I’d be ok commuting to a few of those trips and pick up a trip or two at 150% in DEN, SFO, SLC, or LAX on my days off. I don’t mind commuting because I spend most of my days off visiting my gf on the west coast anyway. How badly will this backfire on me?

DEC questions
Hey y’all, I’ve got a CJO for an ERJ CA slot and wondering how soon I could hold a reserve line out of SEA. Also curious how many days a month to expect to get on reserve…18? 19? Any tips for the new guy would be much appreciated. PM would be great too. Cheers.

If it’s strictly for west coast bases do you have your App in to Alaska or Avelo?

Checkride coming up and IOE survey has been filled out. Looking to the next phase of everything now. I know that everything can (and will) change by the time I wait out my ~8 weeks for IOE and get on the line. Just curious as of right now, what is reserve life like in MSP for CRJ FO? Could a brand new hire off IOE get LCR/PM Short call right off the bat? In general, is reserve lasting more than a month. Again, I know the numbers now are now the numbers that I'll be dealing with when I finish IOE in June/July...just curious for the current climate.

MSP, ORD and DTW move pretty quick from what I have seen. You can see the seniority under the flight ops crewmember tab on SWOL. If youre taking your checkride soon, expect IOE to be about 3 months out. I have waited 13 weeks from my checkride till my first day of IOE and its next week.

As far as your IOE flying, I think you can request the base you want to do your IOE at, but I do not know the specifics so perhaps someone else can chime in.
