18 months in, and still commuting to reserve, I cant hold a line anywhere (except for the occasional hybrid with vacation or training) while I'd be in solid line holding territory on the bus in LGA. The last bid would have had me going home if I were on the bus, still just out of reach on the 73.
Yeah Captain side a different story. FO side however has seen some get nice movement the past year for sure.
Also DCA like many LUS bases seems to have many approaching mandatory retirement? You’d know more on that then me but anytime I hand a plane away to DCA crews there seems to be a lot with few years left?
