Reserve schedules at NWA have you sitting reserve 21 days per month.A and that division of days off vs on can vary from single block of days off all at once to 4 days off in a row and 7 on and just about any combination a crew planner's imagination can come up with. Junior schedules will have you flying 3 day trips usually ANC-LAX-ANC with pay and credit of 10:55 and ANC-ORD-ANC with pay and credit of 12:20 and any combination of those until you reach about 82 hours pay and credit for the month. Junior pilots often work 21 days or more, more senior flying gets out into the Pacific more and usually can bring the number of days down to about 14 to 16.

If you don't mind being in training for two a/c back to back most of the guys on the panel will be able to hold the 9 on the next bidding cycle (training would start in March for any new equipment awarded). The bad part is once you move off of your original equipment award you are seat locked for two years per the contract.

I would love to go right into the Bus, seeing I have been flying that most recently. It's been awhile since I flew the "9". Actually never flew it. Only the -80 series.

new hire training can't be in the bus until all recalled pilots are offered that position and some are seat locked for 2 years or 6 months depending on their previous equipment. that doesn't prevent you from doing back to back training cycles if you can hold it. from what I've been told, you would most likely sit sideways or on the 9 for a few months.
