The 'worst' trip is Shanwick. As one guy said "I love Shanwick!!" That's the worst layover. What's the next worst? Amsterdam?



Shanwick you can go golfing in a place called Ireland.

Bologna might be one of the worst. Near a place called Tuscany.



Berlin? Too much WWII history.

Dubrovnik? Too many tourists because it's such a cool town. UNESCO stuff.



But why is it junior? Right now less than 50% of the bid status has a schedule. So you sit at home waiting for the phone to ring, day after day after day. It's brutal. About 2/3's of the reserve guys have flown one day or less. 58% have yet to fly this month. Who wants to sit around and never fly? ;-)


I should have mentioned I wouldn’t want to fly a block of international. 5 trips a month of that would suck.

Now living in base on short call and never flying would be different.
