Junior base/Time to hold a line
What’s the most Junior base? ORD or DTW? Can you get a line right out of training there? If not, how long to hold lines in either? Any insight on time to get a line in all bases would be incredibly helpful. Thank you

If people are getting lines right out of training, then who is on reserve?
ive been here since early 2020 and cannot yet hold a line in dtw…even waiving everything down to one day etc.. Maybe December. will see…. But I’m still seeing people hired months before me on reserve. Granted we lost time due to Covid (over a year) but I’m approaching two years and still on reserve…. I’d plan for 4-6 months on reserve then be pleasantly surprised if it’s less.

I’m not complaining. Reserve rules can be improved but I came from the ‘voy and 8-hour airport standby…..and I got to keep my job. Life’s pretty darn good!

Both look like they'll go to a new hire in training via the vacancy today. Holding a line is anyone's guess. We're supposed to hire a lot of people next year, so I doubt it would take long to hold a line in a junior base.

Been here more than six months and less than a year, holding a line is a very distant reality for me.
I would say plan on at least two years, one if things really pick up. I also say that with the assumption we are talking about junior bases. LAS, DFW, lord knows.

what airline are you at? I’ve been here just over 2 years, 1 of those being covid year and I’m almost 50% in our most senior FO base.

You may want to talk to someone about your bid because unless you’re in DFW, you should be there or close.
