My best guess is 700's get replaced by 175's slowly over the next few years and that's about it.
How will the Alaska flying go bye-bye? We just signed a 12 year deal.

CRJ = 0/2 reserves in Minny/ORD for Jan respectively plus of course the peeps just finishing IOE that weren't able to bid in Jan.
I'll make the ASSumption that the period you'll sit reserve might be a tad shorter on the RJ vs. the 175.
sorry im new to the lingo. 50% im assuming means half the crews in base are reserves, but am lost on the 0/2 stat...? thanks in advance

Need to have reserves to have reserve lines.

0 Reserve lines in MSP
2 Reserve lines in ORD

New Hires who are not scheduled to be completed with IOE before the 7th of the month can not bid for the following month since that is the deadline for when they update the bases in PBS. So anyone who finishes up IOE after the 8th of December they will not be eligible to bid for January's reserve lines. They will all be added after the bids are published on the 24th.

0 reserves for 150 pilots in MSP. 2 reserves for 154 pilots in ORD. 5 reserves for 23 pilots in PDX. Go figure.

Take your reserve lines and divide it by the total number of pilots minus the reserve lines. So 1% reserve coverage in ORD and 28% in PDX. Doesn't really matter how many reserves each base has because you can never drop anything anyways.

There's outs in all the contracts how much it costs for either party is privy to those who signed, but anything could be done whenever either side decides.

Just to clarify, you need to have ioe scheduled before the 7th so you can bid for the next month.

So if by the 5th,you have ioe schedule to finish by say Jan 28th, you can bid for Feb.

If you wake up on Jan 8th with no ioe but by the 9th they filled you up to finish by the 28th, guess what? February is reserve. And not bidding reserve, they literally make up a line for you.

This is no longer true for first officer trainees. Still true for captains, but too many pilots were unable to finish in their scheduled time and required their pairings removed for more training. Now your IOE must be completed and checkride signed off before your name will be put into PBS as a bidder. Finish IOE on the 7th and you're okay, finish on the 8th, you'll be placed on reserve for the balance of that month and have a reserve line built for the next as well. Welcome to the new skywest.
