I had a line check the other day and I jokingly asked the LCA about rumors.....specifically, "hey, when are those 787s coming?"
and the LCA's response was "you guys need to stop listening to OTZEagle......stop feeding the internet troll
"

I believe LC will automatically be assigned if you don’t get a line, and then you can bid for non-convertible LC or SC. If you haven’t listened to the union podcasts yet you should.

Look that the trips that make up current OF lines and opentime. Those are what you can expect to be leftover after the PBS award is run. You'll have your pick of those and whatever trips gets called in sick for.
That said I think LCR will work out great, especially if you self assign so you have more control over your schedule. And if you have any seniority amongst the reserves, you may not fly at all.

There will be NO merger, and there certainly won’t be any widebodies. Growth will be limited if at all and folks are still leaving, btw.
