All commutes between hubs are easy. Don’t make the first? Positive space on the next. Commuting made easy.

That’s a sound decision. But I feel everything should be covered before pushback. I also feel it should be handflown. So I’ll write what I asked others to do:

1. Make a 2-mile and 3 mile ring even with FMS 4.2.
2. PM use DME in case an LCP is watching
3. Brief the PM to turn the HDG knob to 180 and then 040 when appropriate without calling for it
4. Brief that there will be no commands or config changes until in the turn to 040. (This will cover the demands of 10-7 pages)
5. Hand fly the thing as per the 10-7 pages and turn between the ring.
6. Never have to write an ASAP.

I was mind blown when trying this after someone better than me taught me it.

I’ve sat ready reserve 7 times this month. It’s all I’ve done for the last 2 weeks. This is starting to get out of hand. I would like to see the max limit in the next LOA go from 10 to like 2. Even mainline flight attendants are maxed out at 2, or at least at AA

They’d rather break apart trips and give them to people bidding last call then just assign it to a reserve that wants to fly and give them ready instead.

We should have something like this. 900 guys are probably only sitting 3-4 days tops since there are so many to choose 3 from, but with 200 only having a handful of lines in NYC those reserves are usually sitting at the contractual limit.
