Default Word on Long Call Reserve

A word of Caution with the new Long Call 2 window. If you dont have alot of flights to commute on you might not want to bid it. For example the airport I commute out of only has 3 Delta Flights and a AA flight that is less the 1 hr apart(dosnt work for commuter cluse). LC2 is from 0700-0900 and 1700-1900hrs. so they can call you up at 1850 and tell ya you have a flight at 0730 am the next day. Withen the 12 hrs call out. The last flight out of my commuter airport leaves at 1800hrs and there is no way for me to get to JFK by 730am the next day. IF you live in base or out of an airport like MCO that has 12 flights a day or serviced by all mighty job saver, Jet Blue; then you might be able to make it work.

Also about the guys from MCO and GSO coming to JFK looks to me there is about 38 FOs thats gona be above me. (Hired in Feb) but I know there are lots of 5 yr FOs from MCO so I hope most will upgrade and fig if they have to be in JFK might as well be a Capt.
