And they went senior, and those were the first 6SQ slots since the first week of the year.

Special Qualification crew class. This group does the BOS/JFK-LHR/LGW flights.

We have a BOS 320 SQ and JFK 320 SQ crew class currently.

Heck even in LAS or LAX you can attempt to bid around the red eye flying. SQ sounds like you are just locking yourself in to it

Plus if you’re on reserve, you can be used for non SQ pairings, so get ready for those 2230 SDQ callouts. Why anyone would bid Sq on purpose is beyond me.

Maybe the Guaranteed commutable line? Better base Seniority? Just a few off the top of my head.

And guaranteed min 5, 3-day trips (commutes) per month just to credit 75 hours. Nope.
