Agreed.

Side note, on some fleets the GSs are more likely on weekends. Rather than stacking all Xdays days at the beginning of the month, if you want to roll thunder, and you’re willing to work weekends, you’ll need to get/move Xdays over weekends (seniority dependent, of course) and snag GSs then.

Yes, you're correct. I forgot that a GS (even on RES) is pay, no credit. So you're getting the pay above guarantee but no credit towards reserve guarantee. Thus, you can't "fill up" like I had said.

Most days until I got a line, that didn’t take long. If I saw the writing on the wall, I would yellow slip and try and pick my own poison. Such as if I had 4 days, and there was a 4 day, I’d get that. That way I wasn’t stuck with a bunch of 1 days and footing my own hotel/crash pad costs.

The problem with NYC trips now is they often have early sign-ins and late checkouts. ie: 0800 sign-in and get done at 10pm. So... non-commutable on both ends, requiring two nights in a crashpad/hotel.

From briefly looking thru the bid package for Nov, they claim that about 30-40% of the trips are "commutable" on both ends.

Is this because background check needs to be completed prior to day 1? Or just a long list of people waiting to start?

just food for thought, I just interviewed and got a CJO with 3900TT, 280TPIC, 1 letter of rec on file. All civilian.

For your letter of rec, you just uploaded it to airlineapps, right?

Yes, you’ll have to send the person who’s writing your LOR the request via airlineapps. They’ll write the rec and once they they submit it you’ll be able to review the rec on airlineapps.

Wow! So you're saying there's a chance... What other hiring stats do you have that you think got you the interview? Like I mentioned it seems most guys are above 1k TPIC so that is amazing to hear you got the offer.
