Also, what is the upgrade timeline looking like now? And is it something available to all pilots or is it only a select few who get to be part of DRL?
Who wants to do 10 days on the road? Good lord!
It's not hard, 3 captains, cover the left seat 100% of the time
If one is going home, another needs to be coming out, the same day
They don't care if you have 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 day overlaps, but you have to have
a minimum of a 1 day overlap
Cover the left seat! Work whatever you want, 4 day rotation is minimum
Seniority, bid it, your seniority holds it, you get it
It's not ILC were you have to suck up to them to get "accepted"
