This is a joke, right?
Nailed it...
Maybe. But we are likely soon to be back to the days where we are short handed and scheduling is converting long call to short call, DH-ing RSV pilots to other bases, and sticking the long call folks with the red eye turns that nobody else wants.

MIA vs MCO
June 1st class here. My buddy told me MIA is still very junior. I’m split on what to do for commuting purposes with MIA or MCO. Relative seniority move quicker (historically) in MIA? Flight frequency is higher with more carriers to MCO but my initial thought is the flying might be better. Any insiders like to weigh in with your thoughts?
