Don't have my FLiCA access yet, but I'm pretty sure it closed on Friday, so we should hypothetically see the results by the end of the week.

Or should I say I know of one guy that got the call who went to the meet and greet. Don't know if he already had an app on file or not.

On reserve we work 18 days per month, so in a 31 day bid period you get 13 off. 12 off in a 30day bid. During the slow months (Sept-Mar) they typicall give you 1-2 extra days off (PRL days), which are paid. You have the ability to swap your reserve days around pretty easily using Flica, and can put in bid preferences for whatever you want.

You can put in preference bids the day prior to a RSV shift for trips that are open. That helps plan your commutes.

Both bases are very commuter friendly, just dont be stupid when planning your commutes.

There should be lots of openings on the E190, so I would shoot for that if you get to pick equip and want to hold a line ASAP.

I was there, and I already had an application on file. Alas, my phone has not rung. I hope this isn't a bad sign.
