I have found that the GS pool is MUCH larger on the A side than the B. A lot more empty nesters with nothing tying them down, who also live locally... It makes it a lot harder to get premuim flying as a Capt. and my average is definitly affected down.
Nope, I'd say you are doing it right. I'm looking forward to upgrade here in a few months and plan to maybe bid reserve for the reasons you mentioned although I commute. I'm tired of hustling as an FO, having to fly weekends for GS etc. 80-85 sounds perfect. Ill be sitting in the mid 50s on the A side so hopefully I can hold weekday reserve.
