Yes, but when you are on reserve, the more people below you the better your QOL.
Eagle is a great place to work. You can choose your base, not your equipment, if you choose DFW, MIA, LAX, SJU, you will be flying a prop, everywhere else you will be on the EMB, in ORD it could also be the CRJ, new hires are looking at a 3-4 year upgrade on the jet, and about 3 years on the prop, many will try and tell you different, but we are upgrading about 45 a month, and we had a 28 month hiring freeze, so when the last guy from 2001 upgrades the upgrade time will go down two and a half years over night, not to mention all the flowbies will be gone within a year, and normal attrition. Eagle just started a career placement program helping to place senior CAs with other majors or cargo companies(trying to chop off the top heavy senority list). Equipment is new, hold a line in most places right out of training, lots of days off, never been junior manned, needed two weekends off in June for weddings, just asked the chief pilot yesterday, and he told me no problem.

Are you forgetting the 28 month hiring freeze, when the last guy from 01 upgrades the time to the left seat will decrease two and a half years over night. Add in the 300 flowbies leaving, and normal attrition. It will be there, the numbers dont lie. I feel bad if you were a 2000, or 2001 hire and had to wait so long for an upgrade, but that does not mean that the trend will continue for the new guys, and I know how many were hired between 99-01, and I also no that the new vacancy bid should put the CA position somewhere between June and July of 2000.Same thing people have been saying for years. With no new aircraft ordered, only the couple hundred flow backs right now open left seats. 3-4 years to the jet? You do realize that it's 7-8 just to sit reserve on a prop. Quite a few were hired between 99-01. I was.
