I see some senior guys with only 15 days off. They need to learn how to bid.

I think most senior folks know how to bid just fine. Everyone bids for what they desire. Less days off only means they had more parameters limiting their pairing pool or wanted more credit. Dont get me wrong, there are folks who have been here years that still dont get how to do it. Read the PBS guide and have it open when you bid. You learn quick. Thats all I can say.
For me, total days off is all I care about. Me and a classmate of mine are one number from eachother. I routinely have the same hours or slightly more as him but 2 or so less working days because I dont bid for commutable trips and dont mind 5 day trips. He on the other hand doesnt want 5 day trips, and bids for fairly late report times/early release times.

This "Memo" was regarding which 175 bases would get DL bennies and that's it. Latest update I've seen is all DL 175 deliveries for the rest of the year are going to SEA. No mention of LA or any other base for that matter.

4000 total hours. 750 part 121 SIC at a regional. Concerned my regional may not be upgrading and even if they are, reserve could be a long time.
Considering a lateral move. If hired by Compass, how long before I could bid CA? And how long on reserve?

You would be able to bid for Captain after 250 more hours of 121 SIC time. Now you more than likely will not be able to hold Captain though. Probably just over a year from hire date before you'd be able to hold it.

But you're saying I'd still be looking at a year before I could even bid it? They require x number of hours w/ the company or something?

Thx. So yeah, I understand I need the 1000 SIC 121 time- and that is be most junior captain for some time (since those senior to me would keep getting their time and pushing me down the seniority list)

If the bases work for you, it's a good lateral move perhaps but I wouldn't come on property right now expecting less than an 18 to 24 month upgrade.

Spring 2015 hires are now just getting their 1000 SIC and it'll just continue to work itself down the list at a steady rate. What used to be the era of "quick upgrades" at Compass will only come back if we get more airplanes/flying.
