The clock is ticking to 150 days and the flying is just not happening. Just dont want to do the wrong thing with my bid and fly less. Any suggestions appreciated! Thanks
Maybe it's different in CVG, but I treat bidding as a work footprint, no matter what kind of flying a particular line might have. Granted, most jfK lines are reserve anyway, but I never put too much faith in getting to fly what I was awarded. Bid the days off you want. After that, bid international stuff or R2 in NRT. Don't sweat timing out - the instructors are sympathetic. Guy in my class took 4 PCs over 8 months before setting foot in the airplane.
