Hit the nail on the head

60% of the reserves are in the short call window
40% of the reserves are in the long call windows

Makes it very difficult to schedule wonder why it seems as if your tagged everytime you come into CVG, why we dont drop anything. yea there people at home but when you have a 9hr call out well alot of good they do. Let alone a 12hr call out. September is a slow month to begin with so hopefully is picks up and we will be back in business.

PAOK. We dont hate you guys

FTR - Are you a scheduler?

I was really excited with my schedule this month...lol, bid Long Call so I could get out and see the family and friends a little but mysteriously I have ready reserves scheduled at the begining and end of my Long call windows which forces me to stay in cvg all the time...I would be p/o'd if I was a commuter with this schedule, thank god I moved to CVG

All in all I still enjoy Comair, its really not that bad not flying much, and getting paid the same...it allows for more pool time although I would still prefer to break minimum each month, when my seniority reaches a point where I can upgrade I probably won't have the required flight time, if things keep going this way.

Whoa hey, I am not complaining...its kind of nice actually especially with it being summer time, (Sitting at home that is) like I said earlier, I am concerned about not having enought TT to upgrade when My seniority number comes around...

Also we are getting trips but they tend to be unproductive which I am sure we all know, again for some people it is nice, personnally If I am on the road flying, I want to fly...once I get home, I want to sit. Some of the frustration is in the 10-12 hour 4 day trips, it is hard to get to minimum with productivity like that.

Life is good, no real complaints
