I need a room that's exactly 27 steps from the elevator and 39 steps from the ice maker. I need a refrigerator and microwave. I want to be able to see the sunrise, but I don't want sun coming in my room. Why aren't you done yet?

Is it possible to bid for open time trips on your reserve days? I've heard it called proffering for something like that. Can you pick up trips out of base? Like if I live in DFW but still commuting to LGA for my first year or so, can I pick a DFW turn on my off days? Does anyone that lives in base purposely bid reserve? In a way, if I got DFW eventually sitting reserve for a long time. Born and raised here and would like to stay.

No you can't just pick up out of base on reserve. Which is a bummer.
I live in base now I'll be in reserve not by choice but I might bid reserve on purpose if I were more senior and bid to pass all, that being said in my experience on reserve I have flown a decent amount so I wouldn't count on a whole lot of extra time off.

You’ll most likely be able to hold DFW in under a year. History says 737 will get you there slightly faster.

in April I credited 90hrs worked 5 days, in May 91.5 hours 5 days of working, is that normal, not really, but I wasn't tied to my phone checking TTOT, open trips, LiteSabre, or TTS(ever, like not even 1 time once the month started)...we all can "work" the system in our own ways...to each their own...how did IMAX work for the people trying for it in 2020/2021?? Not their fault but it still happened....I got my "free" month off without even having to try and IMAX is all I am saying. I got 2 kids, 7 and 9, who are busy as hell, maybe you do too, but I can't go fishing for 100hrs+ every month with their schedules...maybe I am doing it wrong but it works for me.
