As far as I know, nobody yet. I'm an instructor at OSC and I was 4 away from E190 upgrade last system bid, so if it goes even a little more junior, they'd ask me if I plan on staying in the school house or go back to the line. And they haven't asked me yet. I'd guess it'd be Monday or Tuesday at the earliest before we hear anything.

I bet you get it this time. Will you fly the line full time or stay as an instructor?

I'm going to stay. I don't feel like commuting to sit reserve when I can be home every night. Maybe in a couple of years when I can hold a line.

I can't imagine with the continuous upgrades and aircraft orders it would go backwards from the last system bid. The last time it went backwards was when we had a system bid without any upgrades. But I've been wrong before and I'll be wrong again.

Seems a lot of the A320 schedules in Jan have the typical late west coast, then a red eye with 11-12 hours rest, then cycle to a "normal" circadian day flight schedule for the last day and a return too late to commute. Anybody else noticing an uptick in these?

Also the 3 day 10 hour. Total circadian disruption. Are these common in the airline industry? I am a night owl so leaving at 11pm and landing at 3am is not an issue. It's just 'staying up late.' But then... the next night you got a 3:15am show. Now your what? An early morning owl?

What are people doing to manage these? I found forcing myself up to get to breakfast (4-5 hours sleep) gets me needing a good nap that evening before the redeye. But still...
