Get a little bit of that...
 

You are dealing with an "E-Bay" mentality.:eek:

For exactly that reason I don't bother checking flights or listing way out in advance. It changes so much that it's not worth stressing over until a couple days prior.

As others have said if i have to be there I buy tix. If we're flexible on flights or even destination, I don't hammer out the plan until it's close in. Not trying to hose anyone, just the name of the nonrev game. Even the best laid plan can be undone by an IROP. Why worry about that a month in advance?

It's even more important when you're on your vacation. Checking loads for the return is a sure fire way to stress yourself out :D Easier said than done not to peek though

Have a friend that always waits to the last minute, when asked why, he claims it gives him an edge...but could not explain it. I just said you are screwing everyone else.

There is no edge to be had. It's all seniority based. Waiting till the last minute for an "edge" doesn't magically move you ahead of someone who is senior and it only frustrates those who are junior.

Sometimes, these last minute listings happen when there are multiple ways to get somewhere. My family and I were non-revving to FCO and knew so weeks in advance. It was pointless to list, because there were half a dozen combinations of routing through at least three hubs. It was pointless to pick an option until the day prior.

How long before they finally publish the schedules of us lowly FOs???

We'll get there, when we get there. Stop hitting your sister. 3pm G(eorgia)MT

It was a newbie question. I figured since the A's were out yesterday, ours would be quick to follow. And...I don't have a sister 😜

Puppies are a suitable substitute ;)

What hotels do most LAX commuters use?
