I started in January of last year and my class was all 737's in EWR and IAH. I went to IAH. In the August bid I was awarded LAX. I was in LA in November and held a line that month. In December and January I was back on reserve, but could have had a line in December if I bid better. I have a line for February and hopefully will going forward but you never know. Next month I have 14 days off with layovers in Cancun, Hilo, Honolulu, Costa Rica as well as a few less desirable locations. I spent over a dozen years at regionals and enjoyed it, but if his goal is eventually to go to a major he has to do it now to get his place in line. Send me a PM if he wants to talk.
