I hit 100 hrs the last day of May. I'm jfk320. I thought I'd get used over the summer. But June was 12:41 and July so far has been 1 3-day trip for 21hrs. Move-up line for August. For June and July I've had 24 hr notice (assigned pairing for next day) but also had 3 trips in June with sub-2hrs notice. I always tell them I'm going to need the 2 hours (driving from jersey), and they've always agreed and approved short term parking for me.
Fwiw

There is no way I'd go hang out at StarBucks, even if I lived 2 hours and 15 minutes away. Keep a bag packed, be clean shaven, and have a uniform ironed. When they call you have 15 minutes to call them back, then 2 hours from positive contact (when you call them back in 13 minutes after they called you).
You'll be fine, and like everyone said, you'll get a feel for weather you're going to get called or not.
Good luck!

That is correct Rocket. You can not go below 70 hours of credit. You can always move days around if the reserve levels allow it. Just make sure you have at least 3 days in a row or Flica will deny it.

When is year 1 anniversary?
Is year one anniversary - one year from first day of training or one year after first day following IOE? (Is there a bonus after year one is complete?)This year one pay is gonna be rough with a kid in college, but have to say, everyone I've have worked with including those below the wing - have been awesome.
