Put a seat lock on types and a shorter one on SQ and let the monthly shuffle move people where they want to be

Strange way to put it, planes flow through the system and are not “based” in any particular focus city unless they are referring to the number of daily “RON”ing Mint aircraft.

One of my trips was:
1159 pm sign in at LAX - redeye to JFK.
Daysleep in JFK Hilton, leave JFK around midnight down to STI.
Daysleep in STI at a noisy hotel, leave STI at 1 a.m. redeye to JFK.
Daysleep again at JFK Hilton, leave JFK 9pm back to LAX, scheduled arrival 1130 pm.
We were late on nearly every flight. Arrived at LAX on the last night just before 3 a.m. My drive home was one of the most dangerous things I think I've done in years. I should have been smart enough to sleep in my car for a few hours.
That trip was NOT out of the ordinary. With the move from LGB to LAX, JB effectively killed almost all of the last of their intra-west coast flying. The entire focus is on "bringing people from the east coast out west, then flying them home later."
As for reserve, at 16 years seniority I was bidding 86% in the left seat. As posted by someone else, the line holders are from Jan '08. FO lineholders I am hearing from friends are almost a year; Dec 2021.
