Yes, they are. I think there is a caveat that allows you to volunteer for another one though. Of course you might also volunteer for a TSA strip search also.

Humbug with all of your negativity on the fun bags. Take it from the owners' these things are to be played with. After all, how do you make five pounds of body fat attractive? Put a nipple on it! |

For example, they assign Monday 6:00 AM to Tuesday 6:00 short call. (now thats two hotel rooms...you made it to your base Sunday night to be in position early morning on Monday). It gets even worse. They give Tuesday off for rest and then assign a 24 hr short call window on Wednesday again. Now...you can't get home on Tuesday (if you're a commuter) because you have to be in position by 6:00 AM (8:00AM latest) on Wedneday for the short call. So...you do 2 short calls and eat 5 hotel rooms :eek:....and add all the time spent away from home. I'm trying to get out of my seat lock and get displaced to a domestic category on this AE! In the meantime...time to get a dang crash pad...I thought I was done with it :(

I thought about bidding the 330, but only for a minute. I do not mind the jet, and would not mind the pay bump. 12+ hr flights are a plus, but it is the MED destinations and the limited city pairs that had me think twice. The ER goes everywhere and I love that variety. If I can keep it, it is where I will stay. A small category like atl will have on the 330 leads to weird trips, and limited options.
Look at NYC's 777 and 765 seats for an example. Looking at the ATL330 captain to FO ratio, it appears there will be some 12+ hour flights included which to me means Lagos in the winter. |

Different, ATL-FNT and ATL-CLE for 30+ hours.

I have zero international categories on my bid because of this. Maybe someday I'll be senior enough to not worry about reserve. Those will be the days.
Well, we flew a lot less international when you had 10 years in the company, we used international widebodies to fly ATL-MCO, and SC sucks on RES on the ER. |
