OF lines are another example of lowered expectations. Your bid power is considerably reduced because you're left with the scraps.
And you're on the bubble for years. Not knowing if you'll be able to hold one depending on the monthly block hours.
Consistency is part of feeling comfortable. And that is one thing this company fails to do for a large portion of the pilot group.
Just another example of why paper line bidding is archaic and hurts the pilots.
