Who lets a 17,000 signing bonus paid out over a year determine whether or not they come here? That decision should be based off of upgrade time, bases, stability, and QOL, nothing more. Not that I blame them. I’m neck deep in compass and I’m still losing sleep over 2020.

Great
Off topic, is there a way to get a more commutable reserve schedule? 2 days off between 5 day blocks is getting me like 30 hours at home per week

Piggyback on this. Is it allowed to have 1 day off between 2 reserve stretches. I have a stretch ending on the 29th. Off the 30th. Then have to be back on the 1st for another stretch of days.

they have to schedule you 2 days off between work blocks unless you wave it. you can do up to 6 reserve days in a row. when I was on reserve and commuting cross country I would almost always try to do six day on then three or four days off. If that didn't work out I would do 5 on 1 off 3-4 on and then like 5 off. It would mean spending a day off in the crashpad but would get me a longer group of days off after.

Glad to know we're not the only ones getting screwed. My guess is the answer is the same at Compass, you should try being more senior.

Email the ALPA PBS committee they will be able to give you the best advise on how to work it out. my method always involved lots of hoping the grid was above min res and then moving res days. also involved lots of back and forth emails with scheduling to move days. I'm sure there are better ways than how I did it, and it probably involves actually knowing how to bid, which I do not!
