The seasonal swing of the international 756 flying is insane. In the summer they are short everyday and SRM is rampant. There were weeks this summer where there were no reserves at all in any base.
then the fall sked hits and there are hundreds on reserve. It is even worse when the company pulls back in Jan and FEB. During those 2 months most of the INTL flying is less than daily.
They staff for the summer. Being Junior on the 756 is a roller coaster.
