I'm a LAX 7ER newhire( April 14) .in ATL for the first 6 months. I could have held a line in March but needed specific days off for a vacation later in the month. Reserve QOL isn't bad I get the days off that I want and very rarely sit short call. If I get short call I usually just high yellow into a trip. So far most of my flying has been Hawaii. FWIW guys junior to me are holding lines on the 73N. Also according to summer projections LAX and pretty much all the other 7ER bases except DTW are seeing an increase in staffing over 2014.
