What makes you think that? It's been about 6 moths for more than a year now, and FLL should be expanding soon.

For the guy asking about mco...
it changes like the wind blows. currently its running roughly 1.5-2yrs. You might strike it lucky and land early or, depending on the lack of growth here and who's comfortable in seat, it could be 5. I'd plan for minimum 18-24 months to get mco.

other hand... we might announce the MCO100 and guys will be getting mco in indoc.

I saw what you did there

WRT to MCO, what kind of trips may one resonably expect on either fleet? Thanks in advance.

Default Question about 2nd round resv swap days

Trying to request some reserve days swaps ...for example
2 weekend days for 2 weekdays.
It states "Would you like to submit each pairing as a separate request? (I am assuming is doesn't matter what I check here since I am resv?) If I check yes it asks "Combine pairings to match dropped pairing length" ...do either of these things to apply to resv swap requests? Thanks for any insight

Do you have at least that? And who cares? Apply anyway, what it's the worst that can happen? If you don't apply you will never know
thanks! Yeah I got the PIC time but mainly Piston...and yes I did apply and fingers crossed😊

Submit each pairing as an individual request is helpful when trying to swap a single RSV day for multiple possible other days. I.e August 13 RSV day for either August 20th OR August 25th. Otherwise I never check either of those two options at the top.

In your case I would recommend swapping 1 day per request. That way if Sunday is 'green' but Saturday isn't then you'd still get something. Swapping Sat+Sun in one request is an all or nothing request.

Each request is processed in the order which they were entered. So if you are working Tuesday-Sunday and trying to get out of the weekend days make sure to swap out of Sunday before you request to get out of Saturday.

I can tell you that the 190 trips, just plain suck! Mostly Caribbean and lots of 4 leg days. I looked at the bus trips and unless you're senior lots of pairings with red eyes built into them, but I'm sure that's system wide on the bus.

Default Thanks! This is helpful.

Thanks, I didn't realize I should enter requests in order. Thanks again
