Most months, with a green reserve grid, I am able to rearrange my entire month and get what I want.
For example, January bid award came out with a bunch of 3 and 4-day trips with one redeye. I was able to swap and drop all of it and turned it into an 87 credit hour, 15 day off line with all day trips, except for one pesky two-day. I get to be at home with my 6 month old daughter every night and enjoy life. I’m not leaving NK.
I felt the same way. Until I started weighing the risk of Spirit rules being a thing of the past when Spirit becomes JetBlue. There is risk in either decision, but I don’t believe the schedule flexibility will be a survivor.
