I just registered for the Vets in Blue seminar next week. I did not see info on whether one should expect an invite or just show up. Imagine it would be bad form to show up when a space is not available.

I agree reserve on the A320 in BOS will be for a while if you start here now. Keep in mind too that many E190 guys are finishing their 2-year aircraft lock and bidding over to the bus, thus driving guys already there down in relative seniority. If you want to get off reserve ASAP, the E190 is the way to go.
Hope they like flying red eyes because that's all they are going to see, and after two years of doing them myself it's starting to wear me out. I'm thinking I will transfer to the 190. It takes at least 5-6 years to see no redeyes.

Anyone confirm accurracy? So far it looks like solid info.
What I gathered from other posts was they got through at least #48 for the 7 Nov class, and called at least #68 for the 5 Dec class.
Anyone have updates?

Numbers for 8-12 and 9-12 were spot on. We'll just have to see on the other ones.

Red eye trips have their advantages... They are often very commutable, and have decent overnights. For me, I live in base and bid 25 hr 4 days.... Not the most exciting layovers usually unless the trip starts or ends with a SXM or such... and they are completely uncommutable, but for me they are fairly productive.

On reserve, how many reserve days are long-call, and how many are short call? Is it any different between 190 and Airbus?
