You and me both. My 3 yr old son has now puked 4 times in the last hour. My wife has to work tomorrow and I'm "only on reserve" so I drew the short straw for cleanup duty.

Jerry,

I'm not trying to dodge your question but I've spent a significant percentage of my career on reserve as a First Officer on the 727/737 and DC-9.

This month I bid reserve by choice, though I'm about in the middle of the category. I live in-base and the changes to the reserve system make it a viable choice from a QOL perspective.

Thanks for proving my point. Wasn't a dodge at all.

3601-3610 and 3744-3773 have seat back IFE. 3701-3743 have the flip down TV sets. So technically all have IFE. Only some look like a JetBlue plane. My understanding is that the -900s will come with Rubik's cubes installed at each seat.

I think if the contract was an overall good deal for the pilots, we would be seeing either a bigger paycheck, positive movement, or both. It's that simple - those are the two ways the airline affects your life. So compare your W-2 to last year, and compare your bidding power/schedule to last year. Are you better off or not? I would guess that even with the pay raises, most or all of that money has been consumed by movement down the list and/or flying a worse schedule.

Cost neutral or not, reserve, blah blah blah. Are you better off money and time wise with C2012 or without it? And which way is the trend going?

W-2 is 10,000 dollars less than the previous year, and significantly more junior... on a NARROWBODY vice a WIDEBODY.

BOOM. ;)

Thats more than I thought that don't have in seat IFE. They have stopped all mods for that program similar to winglet mods.

I guess putting in lie flat mods that reduce seats cant be coinstalled with winglets that help reduce fuel costs?
