I don't see why not. Who needs coffee when you can wake up doing a walk around in -30 degrees windchill? :eek: :D

Guys are definitely migrating into LA. Not in huge numbers but the playing field is definitely changing.

LOL. No doubt. Maybe I'll start wearing my jacket this winter since all I seem to fly these days are DTW, MSP and BDL. I sure do miss my CUN, MSY and FLL.:eek:
At least the scenery is beautiful in the fall. I love flying to the NE in October. The trees are gorgeous. :) |

News flash...it says EX (as in used to be AF). Now a crotchety old fart that happens to fly for DAL and really get's annoyed at having to scroll back and forth to read a stinkin' BB on the interweb because some idiots keep posting huge pics on the site for giggles. Granted...its funny once or even twice, but it stopped being funny a long time ago. I'm pretty sure there are plenty of Navy guys (as well as pure civvie, army, CG, fNWA, fDAL, SWA, regional pilot and any other pigeon hole you prefer) that are just as annoyed. I like pics just as much as the next guy, but if you aren't tech-savvy enough to post a reasonably sized pic, post a link or skip the pic.

You would not catch me EVER commuting to an 7ER category on reserve. But that's just me.

Is that an F-22?
Can we start putting RJ's on the side of 88s? :D All I can say, as an Auburn fan, is that I'm glad there are no more teams to play from South Carolina. Two weeks in a row is a bit much. |

I've been commuting to reserve since April 08. It's not impossible, but the longer the commute the harder it can be. Midwest to DTW/MSP isn't hard on reserve. You just need to know your work rules & contract, & know them well. The schedulers do push things IMO, but if you know you're correct & stand your ground they'll back off. It's happened lately IMO because certain fleets are understaffed. If your wondering about my comment related to the 7er, it's just more sticky because it's a domestic & international category so it's more complicated. Whitlow doesn't apply to international flying, so scheduling can do things that they can't do to a domestic guy, & it's easy to mix that stuff up IMO. Don't sweat it, it's doable. I'm just getting tired of it. :o |
FWIW, talking to a buddy that was ATL 767 B on reserve living in base, he bid off and started commuting after he was being used "every day" but coming up with 69 hours of credit. So I think thats not every day but the point is it was a lot of work that he found 73N NYC commuting a better deal.
I like 88 ATL reserve, the money hurts, but the lifestyle has been good for me. |
