Your basic life expenses should be budgeted based on guarantee (or LTD if you don't have adequate alternate employment skills). Nice-to-have spending should be on top of that, and of a flexible nature (ie you can stop spending, unload the boat quickly, etc).
Assuming one cares to be fiscally prudent.

Do you really think that I didn’t bid? I’m pretty sure that anyone who reads and posts on Internet forums absolutely bid in the practice round.
I just try to think of this stuff without emotion. Also people who don’t work here read these boards and just like when I was on the outside looking in accurate information was appreciated. Sometimes when certain aspects of something are omitted it makes things sound worse than they are. Maybe it’s intentional, maybe it isn’t, doesn’t really matter.

I agree it would be important for potential new hires to know what life is like at AS. It would be pretty important to know how you'll be treated on reserve no? Since there won't be any meaningful growth due to 737 issues. A new hire knowing that they will be sent to the most expensive base in the system that is also difficult to commute to with no sure way to raise extra funds I think is very important.

If you participated in the PBS bidding and looked at the results you'd realize there is no longer a meaningful amount of open time left in the system. There is effectively zero to pick up. March and April were the last meaninful months to pick up on days off.

Get outside, take a walk, find something fun to do it will help with malaise you suffer from.

You are throwing a fit like a child. Many of us spent years & years not being able to pick up open time on reserve. It was given to you, and now you are throwing a fit about it temporarily going away for a couple months while we are overstaffed in the slow months. Enjoy life and flying a little leas for a couple months and move on…
What is the outlook for open time pickup in May? As far as I can tell it's near zero.

Maybe a better idea would have been to furlough reserves for 2 months to allow other reserves to pick up from 79 hours to 90 hours. Wasn't the issue that not enough people took the unpaid LOAs offered earlier so they offered incentive lines instead?
