For the foreseeable future, DFW and IAH FO’s will be working their tails off. Reserve won’t save you.

FO’s bid reserve to get time off in IAH. Since so many FO’s are coming off IOE, technically, they are called first until they are consolidated. FO’s that are already consolidated just don’t get called very often.

So, you say you can’t afford to come to work here. I don’t understand your question.

You would have to purchase a week of vacation and bid the time off.

I cannot with the family rates someone posted on the thread about a week ago. I can barely afford the ones on the exchange now. Healthcare is really high. Wish it would get better.

It still baffles me that in the current environment people are still picking Mesa because of the certain bases... You do realize that Endeavor will positive space you if you can’t make a first flight correct? And with the AA WOs offering boarding priority parity with mainline pilots commuting is easy. I’m not bashing on Mesa, the airline is what it is. But it is baffling to me. Pilots that work here regularly try and steer people clear yet here you are.
