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.
Where you based? Did you take a look at DCA? exactly the opposite... massive movement on the 737 and very little on the Bus. I was 4 from the bottom all last year.. now suddenly by June I’m gonna have like 50 below me. Bottom DCA CA award went down to almost 11000...
Still enjoying a gentleman’s schedule flying domestic NB out of here... hoping that stays the same! I feel for my NB bros in other bases that are getting hammered.
