AE reserve time

[Flyin'Finn]

If Eagle pilots would chime in,

How's ORD, BOS, DFW, LGA etc. reserve time looking at the moment? Starting class Feb 5 and trying to make an edumacated guestimate what and where to bid (commuting, at least in the beginning, from IND).

Also, any experiences with crashpads.com?

Cheers,

Finn

A long time is all you need to know. Bid what you want, not what you think will get you off reserve quicker.

in BOS on the ERJ the last composite line (a line built of mainly flying sequences with 2-3 days of RSV built in) went to an FO who finished IOE mid-sep 2006. If you are looking for a room to rent check boston.craigslist.org, or the crew room in BOS.

ORD got a line third month there.

If you're gonna commute from indy I'd suggest probably ORD EMJ. Lotsa movement and lotsa lines to choose from in the future. You can also transfer out of base on the EMJ to BOS, LGA, LAX, or DFW eventually. You cannot bid prop to prop or jet to jet, only prop to jet as an FO - so be mindful of that as well.

Muchos thanks for the replies guys. I'm a newbie in the grinder so all advice is appreciated!

In LGA the lines are down this month, and it's almost 2 1/2 years to hold a hard line and around 1 year 9 months to hold a composite, although this is not typical. For a verrry loooooong time we saw no new names added to the bottom of the RSV list, so it's unlikely that the time to a hard line will be nearly so long in the future. In previous months when we had more hard lines composites went as junior as 3-4 months and hard lines were just under a year. In the early going you might go back and forth between hard line and composite/reserve for a few months.

DFW I think is about 3 years to hold a hard line.

PS...............I suggest LGA :nuts:

DFW EMB junior lineholder for Feb is 10/04.

Ehhhhhhhh...................I was sort of close.



Ok, ok just barely in the neighborhood. Thanks for the correction.




BTW Flyin'finn if you get any turboprop your time on rsv will probably be minimal if not non-existent (except perhaps for MIA ATR and maybe LAX SF3).
