A CRJ buddy of mine has been on reserve there for 4 months now and very close to holding a line.

You can expect a call back within 2 weeks generally, they will fly you to SLC. They can put you in class as soon as your ready and have the ATP mins. I took a month off between ATP mins and training and don't regret it. Training will take around 2 months with a 4-6 week wait for IOE for CRJ. Not sure about the training time/IOE wait for ERJ.

Good info, thanks EFB.

I have Thanksgiving as well as Dec 22nd-Jan 6th off with my current employer but will hit ATP mins late this month, so I'm trying to decide when I should make the switch. I guess I could always request a Jan class date but as you all know, seniority is everything.
I'm hoping for CRJ/PHX off the bat, could do CRJ/DEN where my home is as long as the commute isn't awful. Reading the thread it sounds like MSP/DTW is inevitable for a few months

Guys you're building valuable patience. We're experiencing a great time in the industry. Relax. Reserve sucks but it's not forever. Everything gets infinitely better once you can live in base and bid with decent seniority, but it does not happen at smart phone speed.

SFO? No.

Except you're automatically "call first" if OBR and they will abuse you. If not flying, you'll get stuck with airport reserve.

That's new. It used to be very last call, which people hated.
