Anybody know how long reserve is running? Where the junior bases are? What are a new hires' chances of getting LGA or BOS? What the upgrade times might be in the immediate future?
RIC is pretty junior for FO's and STL is junior for CA's due to the lower pay rate for the EMB140's. Once the Delta Connection jets start arriving, I imagine that reserve will be 1 or 2 months. Your chances of getting BOS or LaGarbage as a new hire are pretty good. The hardest base to get is IND, and if you were to get it, plan on spending a year or more on reserve.
Historically, new hires (re-fires) have been exiled to RIC. It is a decent place to live, but is a tough commute. If you want out, generally it takes 2-3 months. There is more movement at LGA than BOS.
Other than RIC, LGA, BOS, IND, STL and the rumor of MCO opening up some day, are there any other pilot bases for CHQ? I assume they've closed down FWA?
CMH is another base and it is growing due to the America West flying and some Airways lines there. MCO is not a rumor, it will be open in December. FWA was closed a couple of months ago, and PIT will probably be closed soon.
