Any advice/feedback is appreciated. Thanks in advance![/QUOTE]


My .02 cents. Here almost 11. Started flying in 1989, airlines 25 years, 10 years left.

Been in bus right seat, 190 left seat, 190 CKA, now bus left oscillating into short call reserve - not by choice - every other month. Commuter. And that's the issue with me. I don't move for airlines. I've been burned in the past moving to bases. Even with only 10 years left I'm thinking of tossing in an app at AA or SWA . Both in my state. Got no issue with Houston El Paso 3 times a day.

JetBlue has a "death zone" in the left seat 320 until you reach 15 plus years seniority. It's reserve or atrocious red eye lines until then. I think that's why lots more people are heading to the 220. Including myself if they stop canceling the awards. I'm commuting off line to sit short call. Yep my choice to commute but again... burned. And it's tough to graze cattle in Queens.

I'm actually considering just bidding back to the right seat and tapping out in 5 years and finding someone with a King Air if I get the flying bug.

I'm just not confident there's a viable plan here. I had a corporate offer on the table two years ago flying a G650 and today, I'm regretting not taking it. I had hope two years ago. Now, not so much.
