Anecdotally, this is my 3rd 121 job and 5th flying job. The schedules here are worse than any of my previous jobs. Thirteen days off as a line holder is an atrocity at any seniority level unless you're doing day trips and live twenty minutes from the airport. Unfortunately, I think that it IS likely due to IMAX as a previous poster stated. It's that, and the fact that so many of the guys about to retire are trying to make up for being completely hosed, financially, from 2001-2016. I have friends at UA and they seem to have similar schedules, so I know that we're not alone. However, the LCCs and Delta all seem to have it better.
You’re doing something wrong, or you’re leaving out a big part of how you bid. Just looking at the most Jr bid status in the company (LGA 737 FO) the bottom line holders are 15-16 days off for July (you know a month we’re all working 90+ hours according to some). You’re absolutely leaving something out about the way you bid to get stuck with 13 days off.
