I was 8 deep in my reserve bucket but I got a trip tomorrow because everyone above me was on sc.
Good news is its my fini flight on the ER category. Hello 800 training, after all of December off of course!

Thanks Buzz. Looking forward to it. No more reserve and the trips are no worse than junior ER stuff. Plus no more HECA layovers.

I had enough of HECA and Africa in the USAF days to last a lifetime. That's one of the reasons I love the 800. Great jet and decent trips. Whenever you go OCONUS, its normally pretty cool.

As for the 717, Boeing Capital recently reconfigured a stored Midwest bird and flew it to Boeing Field so Capital and Marketing people could look it over and get familiar with the plane. The idea being that Capital wants to lease the entire 25 717's from Midwest to one airline and not in bits and pieces around the world.
Sending the 717 to Seattle was a prelude to an aggressive marketing campaign at airlines. So, to me, this says there is no imminent deal with Delta, otherwise Boeing wouldn't be going to these lengths...

New guys finishing training, pay attention to what I just wrote. The reserve availability list is nearly useless. NEVER rely on just it to determine if you'll commute to/from base.

Ah, the good ole RUO. Trips go to LC guys first, plus you have no idea which LCs with lower a RAW then you may have a FAR 24/7 rest issue, 30/7 issue, or are perhaps finishing a trip on THAT day but are still on the Reserve Availability List even though they aren't available. Still don't know what genius designed that one.

. For New Guys:
One nice thing that we do have is a two-hour commute to base. You can catch a flight in as long as it gets in within two hours of your short call starting. It just requires a call to scheduling letting them know.
e.g. You have 8am shortcall. You can catch a flight that gets you into base by 10am or earlier.
