Stay in a junior seat (right seat narrow body) and as the years go by you will see phenominal QOL opportunities as almost everyone above you gets hotfoot and chases small raises and QOL trashing upgrades to be category plugs for much of their career. Then you can be senior reserve or day turn line holder, drop trips and be "part time" like you say. It may or may not take a few years to really get to that point though, so don't expect it right out of the gate.

I posted a question in the finance thread, and don't mean to thread hijack, BUT:
How do you guys convince companies, mortgage companies in particular that we are full-time employees? The underwriter's of my particular broker is saying that since I only get paid for 72 hours a month (our guarantee), I can't possibly be full-time.
What mumblty-jumbo wording do I need to tell them? I don't want to ditch them altogether, I realize I may have to go to another broker/mortgage company, but I'm trying to work with them as much as I can.
Thanks!

Maybe you guys are right. I may have to drop them.
I have had to submit a W-2 and my two latest pay statements, but they keep saying a full-time employee works a min 40 hour week.
Not sure how else to say it, they keep sending me emails verifying full-time status. I've lost out on two houses because of this.

At DAL, there are so few guys that go low, the Company isn't interested in a minimum schedule requirement. According to one of my union reps, it's not even on the Company's radar.
To answer your question, yes, if you are in base, you can go low on reserve or as line holder. It just takes learning how the contract works.

I've gone through the approval process for various undertakings with big/small/mom'n'pop mortgage companies, and have never had a problem getting them to recognize my income. Sounds like a warning sign to me.
