You're on the 175 side? I've been trying to figure out what schedules look like, days off, are you breaking guarantee... Etc. Can you give us the scoop? I start Oct 16.

Currently 6 airplanes flying with 7 and 8 coming online very soon. Deliveries are 2-3 a month. Lines starting to look really good. Line holders are getting 14-17 days off between 78 and 96 hours. Several lines are 16 days off and well over guarantee. With added flying all the time, those stats could change significantly.

Those are good looking schedules.
Sorry, my mistake, you're right on the 700/900 thing. And thanks for the Golden Day explanation. They only apply to days off then (you couldn't select a day you were scheduled to work)?
1) No DFW is all CRJ-900s--no CRJ-700s on the Airways/AA side at this time, and all of the ones we (currently) have are devoted solely to United Express in IAD.
2) Golden days are "inviolate" meaning they can't (or aren't supposed to) JRA/junior assign you or schedule anything on those days. For example, let's say you have a wedding on the 10th of a month, and you work the 5th-9th. Let's say there's a meltdown/snowstorm and they're junior assigning an overnight that'd take you into the 10th (your day off). Per contract, they're supposed to go from the most junior available pilot up the list in inverese seniority order when trying to pin the JRA on someone. If you bid and were awarded a golden day on the 10th, they have to skip you and keep going up the list.
I never bid golden days on reserve b/c I was living out of a suitcase/hotel, and I actually wanted them to junior assign me for the $$$ and the comp day off later in the month. And it also messed with my ability to rapidly swap around reserve days as the numbers in flica shifted, since you can't swap into a GLD/golden day unless you call crew line and have it removed.
Anyways hope that clarifies things a bit. You can always just scan your contract pdf for "golden day" it's defined in there fairly well.

Correct, you can only bid golden days you were already awarded as OFF.

Under my examples above, block time means the total scheduled flight time for the month.
