Reserve time?

Post by Doggtown88 »

I have heard new hires are to expect 9 months on reserve? Can anyone confirm if this is this case?

Which fleet? Which position? Which base?

DH8 YTZ FO - 11 months
DH8 YTZ CA - 4 months

I don't have E2 numbers or numbers for other bases.

Thanks for sharing. How many hours are DH8 FOs flying while on reserve? Just wondering how long it takes to build up the time on type for left seat upgrades.

Did you mix up those numbers, or is that for an internal CA upgrade?

Lad I am currently flying the E2 with says he sat 4 months on RSV before getting his first block here in June.

YTZ FO is very heavy on FOs, so yes the RSV timeline would be higher due to that.
