Would this transition be wise

I can take it, guy. I said at the end of my post that I was bitching.

Move on.

I've got the same issue. I don't live in College Park, which helps. I spend all my money to live a little north of the airport.

They might add a few lines in April. If this is the case, I'll hold a line soon. Otherwise, I get paid to sit on my ass all day. Whatever.

I would also be depressed living in Riverdale. Move up to Vinings/Syrmna/North Atlanta maing. And cheer up! It could be worse. My indoc instructor was on reserve for 3 years at ASA....

can't afford it right now. maybe next year.

Cry me a river. You do what you can afford to do, maybe thats not the same as what everyone else is doing. We all knew when we went to work for an airline what we would be paid. Did you save any money before you started here? Could you afford to take the job at the time? Reserve isn't so bad. Pay your dues here or somewhere else.

Not to pile on you too much here, but if you are a current new-hire, you just got a significant contractual raise over what new-hires made last year. If they, including myself, could and did make it on $19.02 an hour, you certainly should be able to at the new first year rate.
Also, you should consider the relative seniority of the ATR versus other a/c. The fo list moves faster on the ATR than either of the jets, and I would speculate, faster than most of the other regional options out there. (This is courtesy of the narrow-minded, short-sighted, shiny-jet-syndrome suffering ilk like the fab five [T squared, anyone?].) If you can't tolerate the progression of the ATR at ASA, what makes you think you can live with the progression anywhere else?
Yes, I agree, it's not cool that the powers at be have decided to keep us on the ATR, or any other airplane that we have the seniority to hold, against our will. However, it's not the end of the world, and, in my not-so-humble opinion, not a bad place to weather the current events unfolding in our profession.

You're right, it's not a bad place to weather the storm. I was just trying to figure out what the situation was like at other carriers because I was considering a side step.

I don't care being on reserve. I really just thought it was very much against the norm to fly 5-10 hours a month on reserve.

I'm not really that close to holding a line yet, either. Haven't been here long long. Most of what I was concerned about was being on reserve until December. Thought maybe a sidestep would make logical sense.

Then why did you start this thread? You could have just asked someone at work these questions.

Because he was bored on reserve.

Well isn't working his right hand and the Sears catalog what he should be doing instead of posting on here?

 

[Airway]

idk dude. that gets old after a few months. at least it did for me.

Because he was bored on reserve.

...and apparently he never flies, so he can't speak in person with any of us.

WOW! Did you just figure that out? Every heard of a phone? Didn't he have other pilots in his class?

Little uptight today? Who gives a ********************. It's flightinfo. Let the guy post a message and let the rest of us have a little fun with it.

Besides, he's just venting anyways. Every now and then we all need to do, and this is as good as any place to do it.

I'm sorry about your lack of vocabulary. Must be from ER.
