Are you kidding A6 blows....... I flew like 10 hours this month, I'd like to who who broke guarentee on A6. Are you high mins FO? Captain? I am high mins and on a6 and flew like 10 hours...
I made the mistake of bidding A7 in the top few for next month for the sole reason that traffic is winding down around that time and I can make a 2 hour call from my HOUSE and not my REST STOP. Then I stalked sbs and saw that A7 is really bad if you want to fly, so I begged planning to switch it. When the windows came out I had all a7's and not one trip, and people several numbers behind me had basically lines with like a3 and stuff....
I am on a2 now, which will hopefully get me flying more. I need 31 hours in October to make my 120 days...... At least on A2 I can sit reserve at home til like 8, then go to the rest stop for rush hour times (like 8-10) and then can sit at home the rest.......... I can make calls EARLY morning, mid afternoon and late night, otherwise WELCOME TO THE REST STOP! HAHA.....
The Chow Id love to take your L1's from you consdaring you are going to be in NY, youd prob fly more on my A2s but I need to fly for that 120 days. Also at our t9 training event they told us to put in some add drop trades to switch windows if available, so I do for long calls. I never get them and then they pop up on very junior peoples schedules and look like this A5 L1 A5 L1.... makes me mad because I KNOW that junior person is sitting at their crashpad and dont give a rats ass if they are on long or short call bc they have to sit there anyway when it would be HIGHLY beneficial for those of us who live in the New York area given the crazy traffic around here..... Its just funny how it works out... They sit in the crashpad on L1 in queens wanting to fly (they prob wont) and I mingle with truckers at the rest stop and make the the people mad at panera bc ive been using their free internet for 6 hours and only bought a cup of coffee.......
How nice would it be to save the tank of gas an 17 dollars in tolls to drive up there to sit long call just ONE DAY! okay enough bitching!
