I'm already holding a West Coast base now 3 months after IOE. On reserve. Things vary and times to hold a line or get a certain base change every month.

People that were hired in late 2015 spent more than a year on reserve in ORD. It seems now that ORD has tons of new hires again and the reserve time may go back up for awhile.

No, not needed at all. But if someone refers you, they get $1250 bonus.

You don't even need a letter of recommendation, period.

And "2" to the referral bonus. But I've been told it's difficult to get them to actually pay it out. I'm in the process right now.

I've received every referral bonus with little effort. After the referral passes IOE, I email CL in recruiting and my bonuses have arrived every time in the next pay check.

Do you ever want to be a jet captain? Don't go to Horizon. You might be ok as an FO but be flying the Q (if it's still around) as a Capt. they are canceling tons of flights.

If you're having to contemplate driving to work for an airline that is providing lift for others or trying to commute on a very commuter heavy route for an airline that is canceling flights and parking planes, there is another issue at hand.
