If you know enough to be a smarta$$ and call them SE Alaska trips then you already know the answer.

I actually wasn’t trying to be a smartass by asking about SE Alaska trips from LAX. It was a serious question, and I only know they’re referred to as SE Alaska trips because I used to fly Caravans up in Alaska, so am familiar with the lingo.

I’ve had passengers ask me about the SE trips and the “milk run.”

Reserve is just a line holder who doesn’t know their line. You get 12 - 24 hour periods off. Long call is 12 full days off.

What a joke. The fact you’d call a reserve a line holder is very telling. People will have a decision to make and vote in the right people for contract 2020.

Agreed. Reserve is a “line holder” who:
A. doesn’t know their TRIPS
B. Can’t trade their reserve day for a day of flying
C. CAN possibly trade a reserve day with a day off (unless it’s a weekend, holiday, etc .... prob will be denied due to lack of reserves)
D. Can’t drop a day of reserve. (Like the other type of “line holder”)
E. If assigned a trip, then displaced for training from part of trip, isn’t pay protected.... just put back on reserve.

It’s pretty much just like being a line holder.... but different. 😂

I definitely didn’t mean it that way. I meant they fly the sh.t out of you. Basically it’s a load of crap and they understaff as much as humanly possible thus relying on Premium W h o r e s to keep the operation running. Don’t plan to sit around.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👆👆👆 Spot ON!!!

I'm fairly junior and they haven't flown the sh.t out of me. In fact I'd call it sparse.

LAX Flying
 

Maybe on the FO side. If you end up in Seattle as a newhire before LAX you’ll definitely fly a lot. Also depends what’s going on. Things have calmed down a bit for now but that doesn’t mean it’ll change during our next contract negotiation.
