ASA reserve time?

[ductleak]

Guys:

First question -- how long can someone that is hired right now, today, be expected to be on reserve out of DFW?

Second question -- how many new airplanes are being added? 17, correct?

Thanks in advance

1) Reserve (DFW) - I would guess around a year,
but that could change tomorrow.

2) 15 CR7s for `04 and nothing scheduled after
that. No telling how many of the 45 "phantom"
50 seaters we might get in `05.

Clear as mud!

14 CR7s to go. We got one last week.

I had a 'nap' line in DFW in my 3rd month, thru my 8th month. Then the Brizilias were retired and I have been back on reserve for 6 months now. So, 1 year + 3 months still gets you reserve at ASA. Upgrade times at THE CURRENT rate of movement will be 8-12 years!!! Sounds great, huh?!?!
