And when we see 150%, it is based on block, not credit, and many times doesn't pay more than credit due to deadheads, etc..., but they sucker guys into taking it by turning it red.

Yeah and if it isn't picked up by a line holder at 200% it is assigned to me, a reserve FO, for 100%.

And you're upset because? You're a reserve, that's what reserves do.

I'm glad someone said it. The attitude we just saw is exactly why reserves are the second class citizens of this airline. Reserve was always intended to be for a few months. Maybe a year. We have FOs who have been on reserve 4 years and captains who have been on reserve 6 years. Any of you who think reserves need to quit whining need to sack up and bid a month of reserve. Only then may you comment.

Hi Guys..

I have a few questions & my apologies if they have been asked before..

I am trying to find a place to work which is easily commutable from SMF. I just hit ATP mins, I have no turbine time or prev 121/135 exp.

What are the Junior bases on the CRJ side that a new hire can expect to get out of training or within a few months??

Thanks...
