People have all sorts of schemes. Many junior ER A guys have been doing some whacky things on the pickup board the last couple years which I can never seem to figure out. More power to them. If it makes their QOL of better within the bounds of the contract have at it. That’s the great thing about this job, a niche for everyone.
My scheme is extremely simple. Live in base, bid reserve with strategic SC YSing, try to fly as little as possible and be perfectly content with RG and hopefully 6 SCCs on top of it as icing on the cake. I also have a blanket GS in to see if anything comes down the pipe (hasn’t for a year).
