I live in NY (born and raised here). I bid reserve by choice, so I can (theoretically but never a guarantee) fly less and be home with my family more. The times when I do bid a line, I can hold nearly all day turns.
Should I start bidding a line with 5-day trips so I'm not seen as "scamming" my fellow pilots?
No. bid but you want. But I know you have 10 or 11 days off on RSV so......picking up anything on your day off is screwing someone. You're setting a precedent that doesn't help the CBA cause.
