I heard from few AA pilots that some senior guys bid reserve and they never get to fly,
So basically spend the whole month on reserve, never fly and every 3 months go to the Sim to do landing recency.
Furthermore, even being on reserve for 3
Months without flying they still get the minimum guarantee.
Does anyone know if that’s true at AA?
Cheers

You’ll probably get to CLT in the same vacancy bid no matter what. You’ll probably move up seniority quicker if you’re on the 737. However, having flown both myself, the Airbus is better in almost every facet. The 737 has a better FMS (IMO), can fly higher, and the auto descend VNAV at TOD is great but that’s about it.

With that said, pilots that have a vacation in a month tend to bid reserve because it is the best play.
