Not sure why people are afraid of reserve life here it isn’t a regional. Our reserve rules are good and this AIP will make them even better.

I bid reserve by choice.

I thibk I've held a line 4 months ever. And that's been mostly months where I wanted to do something very specific but unpopular.

(MEX layover on a night Iron Maiden was playing across the street from our layover hotel, layover same night as San Diego Supercross, etc)

But you’re right in that the time of year matters.

Spent 4ish years in the bottom 10% of 330B and I was only ever forced into a line once. I saw it happen occasionally in other bases, but it wasn't a common occurrence. That said, if this AIP passes, it may start to become more prevalent.

Listen guys, tcco94 is clearly drunk, reserve here is terrible, you totally shouldn't bid it! Horrible...way worse than regional reserve!

I’ve always bid reserve by choice. Just pointing out that not that long ago, when the -400 was flying almost exclusively internationally, Reserve was available all the way to the bottom.

I agree, however, that this AIP will shake things up, and the old “norms” may not apply.

Yeah, but you’ll go years never being able to pick what days off you want. That would suck. It’s better than being on the 320, but still does suck.

Regardless, I didn’t say they’d hate it, I said they’d be less giddy.

for a lot of people it’s objectively a better lifestyle regardless of where/when they fly. Not for me personally, but I don’t understand your snarky statement.

I wasn’t talking about the WB flying.
