Global reserves have the same 12 or 13 days off as the domestic fleets. The difference with global is that a block of 6 days is dubbed "holy" days off and cant be touched. Your other 6 or 7 days off you can be rolled into. If rolled they will put a new day off somewhere else on your schedule. You will still have the same number of days off, you just won't know when they are. That's the rub with global. Not good for those who need more schedule certainty.
I count 167 unfilled captain positions, between 737 320 and 75/76 (only 1 unfilled here).
RE: Global Reserve - If I get awarded 777/787 in initial training, is it correct that Global Reserve is an automatic 2 year commitment? What happens if I initially get awarded narrowbody, then after a few months, or once off probation, decide to bid widebody - would global reserve in that scenario also be an automatic 2 year commitment?
