Appreciate the intel. What does a typical junior line look like on the bus and 190? Days off/length of trips/legs per day, etc.

That's easy, junior is VERY, VERY bad reserve rules. Seriously.

It’s like ALPA is running paid information campaign against the company on this forum. Captain Vladimir Canoll.

Do you have a class date here? Have you applied? Why the f would you apply here? Also, for space rangers we have 2 Soyuz slots and 2 shuttle slots. Soyuz usually goes junior. But really, every airline aircraft and base assignment is seniority based, based on vacancies. It fluctuates here, some classes are mostly bus, some are mostly emb, some are split. Most have NY/BOS vacancies.

I wish there was information that I could give that made this place sound awesome. Unfortunately there isn't any.

Just gathering intel. Nothing more, nothing less. To be clear, the bidding process varies by airline. Whether it be age, SS #, etc. Hence my line of questioning. Generally the most unhappy folks gather with their pitchforks and torches here on this forum and sing their sorrows so I’m not exactly looking for a sales pitch one way or the other. I’ve seen the billboards. Objective factual information is all I’m after.

I didn’t say “dis”-information, but it has to be better than Trans-States, Mesa, Commutair. And the contract will come.

Truth hurts.

Most will soon realize it is the new Rockridge.

It looks good from the street but then you move in and discover

It's take most less than 6 months to see behind the curtain.

You? Probably never!

Compared to being eaten alive by a Lion being run over by a train is better.

When compared to the worst the not as bad is always better. Not as bad doesn't make it good.

What's jetBlue's reserve days off for a 30 and 31 day month? And what kind of typical line award do reserves get (eg, 5 on 3 off, 4 on 4 off, etc)

18 on in a 30 or 31 day month.

Looks like the bottom RSV in JFK A320 were 2,3 and 4 day off blocks in each line.

Problem is we don't know our first day RSA until around noon the previous day. I would count of 2:00am first day RSA. OAL can only flex RSA a few times per month. We can be moved from 2:00 to 18:00 for instance every RSV day.

It sucks!
