Answer: Seeing the schedules.

Scenario 2: You're a WBFO thinking "hmm. I could go NBCA since I live in base, I don't mind being on reserve, but how much are they working/crediting really? It's important for my financial and life planning"


Answer: See everyone's schedule.


Information is power and with the information people can make their own life decisions without having to bog down not only this forum but the FB one as well with questions like "can a 777 EWR FO PM me I have questions about xyz"

and you're now making life decisions based on one, two, three, maybe 4 guys experiences when you could have a look at all of their experiences and make the most informed decision possible, because as we all know if your decision wasn't the best one, it's 2 years of the new life...

All of this information comes out in the bid awards correct? Probably will give you a better picture of the base seniority climate.

Just for clarification. I’m not in favor or against schedule blocking. I’ve just personally seen it go very wrong. I’ve never had the desire or need to check another Pilot’s schedule outside of doing ALPA work
