My intention was to bid into JFK at 50% and get occasional trips that begin or end with a European DH.

However, I definitely prefer Primary Lines in PDX. I have been crediting 75 Hours +/- (80 next month) since April. I know my schedule and get to fly regularly. I get at worst my second choice, but have have been awarded my first choice the last three bids.

Secondary Lines in JFK? Between minimum guarantee and not being super comfortable sitting at home for the 1700 UTC schedule check, no thank you. Outbasing was nice for the bank account, and I spent a good amount of time home the first two weeks, but then wound up in the Pacific for 10 days. Outbasing 3 to 4 months a year is all I think I can handle I think... If I can hold that.
