You are supposed to be a professional pilot. Are you sure you want a prompt that alludes otherwise?

I know what you mean. I almost get screwed with it every month. I never bid in a rush and check the bid confirmation carefully before the bid closes. It could happen to any one of us that submits a reserve bid.

Speaking of Reserve... What are the Junior Bases being awarded out of training and how long are folks on reserve these days?

Also, what are the bases in current seniority order?

It does. He bid reserve higher than "all remaining pairings". Operator error.

We don't. That's why we are going to lose it to the non Union cheaper side of the company. Mainline sold this flying for higher pay and better workrules because they didn't want to fly "little airplane". Now nobody really owns it except management.

ERJ or CRJ?

I can't speak for the CRJ side. On the ERJ, EWR is the most junior base followed by IAH and DFW, the most senior bases are ORD and CLE. Reserve times are indefinite. You will be on reserve until one of the 3 options: a) we get new flying; b) you quit; c) the airline shut down.

CRJ side is about a 3-4 year reserve, still 8-9 year upgrade. DFW is junior base. As is ATL CRJ200.
