You will find out, (if you didn't already know) management is notoriously tight lipped about specifics regarding the future.

Re:lines. Yes, 3 off 4 on is the norm for lineholders. 3 off 5 on for reserves. Typically reserves fly a lot although it fluctuates over time due to staffing. I would expect to fly a lot for the foreseeable future. Lines lately have been lower credit, 70-80 hours. With 14-18 days off. Again, due to the lower total block hours there are more sits during the day. Traditionally lines have been 80-100 hours with 12-15 days off. With some outliers.

Our CPP is rumored to be very similar to the other agreements out there and supposedly there is an announcement coming shortly.
Thanks for the info. This all seems pretty much in line with my previous 121 job. Gotta love those long sits
