There's plenty of open trips on the 145, but it's all DHD DFW-ACT and operate back the next day at 10 AM type stuff.

Anything left in OT on the 175 is mostly trips that leave base and don’t return until the end. Impossible to even pick up an overnight without taking the entire four day.

There's a way to get them to award parts of these trips w/ deadheads back to base to start your scheduled sequence but I'm not going to say it on here because I love money.

The union could really capitalize on a quality of life loa specific to the 145 to attract guys to stay on the plane. Qualified upgrades provide more experienced pilots to the metal and less bidding off of it saving training cost. Make reserve 13 days off or extra 10hrs credit + staff the plane to higher days off avg. to the 175 , Rap reserve 4 hour call out?. 5 grand won’t come close to buying a seat lock. Extra two days off a month plus might buy lock or similar? Maybe

Can't stretch the RAP callout without increasing airport standbys on the 145. The segment lengths are way too short for that.

Only because JE doesn't know how to run a modern scheduling department without an army of airport standby's and reserves. She's an embarrassment to the airline. Worse is the management team above here that allows it to continue.

Would a move to wheelsup for a low time FO be smart?

Any specific reason? Commuting to reserve on the 145 for now and see that the schedules are pretty brutal even for line holders with only 2 days off between most trips. Moving to base isn’t an option.
