A lot of the bad schedules were due to AOS software putting together inefficient pairings. We just switched to Jeppson software and the difference in scheduling efficiency has sky rocketed. Now we're seeing 3 day trips worth 28hrs, 4 day trips averaging 22-28hrs, high credit 2 days and locals ect... There are a few lower credit pairings but not very many.
I would guess 13-14 days off with 90-100hrs of credit is a reasonable expectation with the new software.

People are getting off reserve sooner in IAD and PHX than DFW. People junior to me in those bases are lineholders this month while I'm still sitting reserve in DFW, despite my in-base seniority being about 10% better than theirs.

The latest "CITREP" last week from one of the VPs is a plan on growing DFW to 800 pilots. Plus the training department is moving out there. Right now all signs point towards DFW. Personally I'd stay away from PHX. Too many lifers (CAs and FOs) and with the planned (at this point) closing of LAX the base will eventually shrink down again.

I see a lot of stupid questions, and bizarre rumors floating about on this forum as of late. However, as much as I would love to discount all this junk, this forum was accurate and correct about CLT closing, and was the first to report of it.
What to do, what to do...
For you new guys who can't make up your mind, its very simple, you go to the first place that says yes... You don't need more piston time...
