Didn't we get 6 but only 4 were usable because of "abuse"? Memory fails me more often than not these days.

It'll boil down to cost, if price is same or within a few million, throw in a sim and you got a deal on wide bodies. I agree with the guy on the previous page. Something is a foot at the special K. Time will tell the tale.
It's circle K.

Can we get the bunos? I'm sure you've got them committed to memory. But seriously, as a newbie, how would I know that I'm in one of these gems?

I may be wrong but if you're in a 5**JL tail number that's them. They're not that bad. They do have CRT's which on any plane are less desirable.

Not to change the subject, but I have a newbie question. I'm on the Bus in JFK, people are always asking me how long until I hold a line. I honestly have no idea, nor do I know how to figure it out, besides asking you guys.which of our 32 web sites is best used for this purpose?

Go to Crew Planning, Monthly Flight Awards, JFK 320. Look up from the bottom until there are no more reserves. Cross check that with the Pilot Seniority List to see what their hire date was

There are a few people that bid reserve. The last 5-6 months the bottom lineholders were May 2015 hires. Reserve is running right about 12-13 months.

Thanks. Though now that I've looked at it, I kinda wish I hadn't asked. All sorts of hard truths to swallow, especially for a guy trying to get out to LGB!
