Bummer. I'm too junior to hold reserve in NYC. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

They have to have SC in NYC because 80% of reserves have DQ'd and they aren't smart enough to figure it out until they call you to assign a trip.

Exactly!! I start my block Jul 9 (already converted in July from ATL to NYC with a double commute now). Oh well, it’ll be an adventure. Lemons... meet lemonade. I obviously had it above other choices, so you’ll hear no complaints from me.

I ditched the pad already. I can drive if they call me. Out sick at the moment, might be through the end of the month.

FWIW, scheduling has been VERY reasonable spreading the pain around for short call in SLC. I’ve only sat two for the month; looks like the rest of the category has been given the same.

Doesn’t help the quarantine issues, however.

Speaking of, how long does SC last these days? Didn't they whittle it down to 9 hours a while back?

It’s been 9 hours for quite a while. Pre-Covid, even.

Short call used to pretty much guarantee a trip assignment. Now...not so much. Minimal flying available, and the white slippers suck up all they can (as they should).
