Blah.

You know what else CAL does? 3 man 737 flights.

That gives me a headache even worse than the POS 737 cockpit does now.

What's your seniority? I'm willing to be the most junior ATL 330 wont reach into the 9000s.

I'm sitting in the upper 10,800s.....

Nothing like checking my schedule at 2:30 on my last x-day to see long call only to check it right now and see an un-commutable short call in the morning. Reserve blows at this company.

Just to rub it in, it's the 15th, and I'm sitting my first short call of the month tomorrow.

Only flown a 3 day trip last week, too....albeit with the legendary "pack man."

I did 8 reserve days this month. Sat 3 am short call followed by a long call followed by a 3-day trip. Did a 3 day trip my other 3 days. I actually bid next month. I bid to have every single weekend off. I think having weekends off is the trick. I don't even care about weekends, but I'm tired of getting abused.

You haven't been bidding? You deserve what you've been getting then, haha.

Weekends off reserve is a whole different life than weekends reserve. It's the difference between flying 40 hours and barely sitting any short calls to getting nailed at every inconvenience.

You must be in the 6 or 7000s in seniority? When I type that in, it looks a lot different.

No I am less than 5000, but I dislike that page in iCrew. I have ATL330B on both my AE and MD card way below my current seat and
I probably show up on someone elses screen as preferencing it but not in top 3.
