Really hoping to see them get 0 upgrades. The QOL on the dash needs to be addressed and fixed.[/QUOTE

8 upgrades just reinforces what what mgmt already knows. No matter how bad the QOL or pay, there will always be pilots willing to step in. Even in the midst of a so called pilot shortage. There are a lot of complainers out there. But management understands it’s all bark and no bite.
I should have been more specific. There's 8 vacancies posted, we won't know the award until the 22nd.

Last month they only got 2 Q upgrades.

Any word on the August upgrades yet? I’m not sure where to find them.

August upgrades posted in the bid award on Flica. Looks like they got their 8 upgrades on the Q.

Default Airport Reserve?

Has anyone bid, or know someone who has big, airport reserve as a commuter to avoid crash pad scenario? As a SEA 175 FO out of OE I was thinking volunteering for airport reserve may actually be a better play than trying to get long-call or regular reserve.

The ultimate roll of the dice would be to bid PAE, hoping more flying heads that way, and doing a two leg commute. Sounds terrible for most but in my mind it's better than fighting across town in Seattle traffic.

I can't even bid yet so any feedback is appreciated.

As a Q captain on airport reserve, I can say that most days begin and end in base. Good if you live in base, but not so conducive for commuters. But that’s on the Q. The jet probably flies more, but I’m not sure...

2 months now no upgrades.

Beginning of a bad trend / stagnation as there is no more new a/c deliveries and AAG keeps retreating to the northwest....?

A 2 leg commute to reserve at a tiny airport with only a couple flights a day is idiotic. And a recipe for missing work.

PAE can’t physically be longer than an extra 45 minute or so drive even if you’re coming from south of SEA.

Getting to PAE from south of SEA can easily be an extra 1.5 hours in traffic. Two hours isn't unheard of depending on the time of day.

CA I flew with recently is on reserve. Got called on day 2 to add more flying to his schedule at the end of our 3 day. He asked why he keeps getting additional flying added to every trip.

“We don’t have enough 175 Captains”

“Then why are there no upgrades available?”
