Schedules and day offs change monthly. Ex. I have many two days bumped up against four days (six days total) with 15 days off this month. But July, August, September and October had 11 days off and all four day trips. As for when you can hold a line and other factors like that. Some of the newer guys on here should be able to help you more. Sounds like some of the guys aren't getting called back for interviews. Some have been offered a job next fall. If we were to get additional flying soon you would think they would be offered jobs in the spring. Anyway they will need more pilots this next year for sure so I guess keep trying. And if some of the newer guys can help out on line holding wait times and such, feel free to jump in.
I got hired in the summer and I was awarded Charlotte in October. I've been on reserve since then but they've been flying me a lot, which is what I want, I'm always on a trip. So far I haven't had a day where I just sit in Charlotte and do nothing. I believe there are about 15-20 FOs on reserve right now in CLT. I'm in the top 10 of the reserves at the moment and I'm hoping I can hold a line in January with the 117 rules taking effect and hopefully more upgrades out of CLT. We'll see what happens. Hope that helps.
