Ooo look at you bragging about being “senior” with a whole 2 years of experience. Trying being a FO on reserve for 4 years. Also not getting paid any bonuses like you do now. Believe me there’s much worse things then sitting reserve as a CA for a year or two before a major picks you up.

As to where I am in regards to seniority, yes I'm a "senior" lineholder.Nothing more nothing less. I said this to give my CURRENT experience here on property, knowing this too will change. I didn't come on here saying that I'm the King over here bc of it. There's plenty for me to learn yet, and learn everyday.
If you want me to brag, I could brag but out of respect for others before me,and being of poor taste, I of course would refrain from doing so, as I have them to thank as well. I don't come here to gloat.
Furthermore, you know whats worse being a reserve FO for 4 years? Homeless. Couch surfing for months at a time and working my ass off until that time until I could afford an apartment. I lived that. And never once did I look at others and moan about it.
And guess what, some people still had it worse than me, but I was able to get out the sh*thole I was in and made the best out of everything.As you should too.
By no means am I bragging. Get a grip, life could be much worse.

The HVA tactic is bogus and if you have enough 121 time to qualify for it then it can be assumed that you know enough about the industry, and you’re able to come to terms with the fact that you’re going to be on reserve for a long time. Life isn’t so different for the poor CRJ CAs with next to no movement. But I say bring them in. This will only last so long before the pool of people willing to subject themselves to what’s involved runs out. That just means a higher stack of bodies beneath me and you when we upgrade. That’s why every little thing you can do to keep that forced upgrade in the future makes a difference for you.

1. Forced upgrades will not continue if pilots start to bid defensively and force the company's hand. (Bid back to FO prior to fed ride and get displaced to a different equipment. And repeat.)
2. HVA will not continually get "pushed" down. They will continue to get pushed up by the new guys coming in below them. Sooner or later the HVA program will go away and FOs will start volunteering to upgrade.
3. Finally, I'm more interested in the short term craziness the company is going to do in the short term to fix the CA issue. There is coming a time in the near term where CAs are going to be JMed and abused.

I was always curious as to why more people dont refuse a JM. It doesn’t count as an MA.
