Yes. We do have some regular lines and reserve lines that work big blocks. 11/19 reserve lines were big blocks and 30/83 regular lines with big blocks as well for a recent month. There might be months that people need lines like that for vacation or just want more time off in a row. Others might not want to commute 3 times a month also, so to each their own.

Nope….but the pilot group is great, the upgrade times have decreased significantly, the contract will improve, and the training guys are top notch. While my United and AA buddies are sitting endless WB reserve is SFO and EWR, we can’t keep up with the OT $$$ with 14 days off. It’s a well kept secret. For what it’s worth, prior mil and came over from the AAG system, not regretting it. Take with a grain of salt.

I run the numbers in the last February 2022 bid and it seems the jr F/O line holder is a November 2021 class. Things are moving quick lately.
Time to join the club!
