How long to hold CLT, and how about how many mo's of rsv in CLT before a line?

Let me emphasize on the word NASTY. :)
Phl and Lga got good crew meals but we get it mostly in clt. Bad bad. We got same 50-60 destinations. Few new flying here and there. Started Omaha and des moine. Nice to have legs over 2 hours for a change. MLB, dab, Myr, srq, hpn, gpt are some of our better overnights. Everything else is blah

Thank you, I've been called for an interview coming up in the next few weeks. Just trying to get a feel for the place. And just to be clear, the crew is so bad as you'd rather starve? ;)

I loved crew meal for the first few months. Especially Phl and Lga. Then it was always CLT and it got old. I do eat it half the time. At least the figs or Oreos and chips in it. There are days when you really don't have time to get something to eat. I'm learning how to cook so I can start bringing my own food.

I have to say, lately the crew meals has gotten better. Fresher meat. I think word got out to our vendor that our NC was planning on throwing away crew meals for something else in return from company.

Seafeye gave out our crew meal to pax and boy were they happy thinking we had in flt meal.

DC crew meals have greatly improved as well. TYS FOs are holding lines after about 4 months. If the lines in TYS were more commutable, I would go back in a heartbeat. Aside from a few captains, all the crews there are top notch.

And the no hot reserve in TYS makes it that much better (doesn't mean that they won't TDY you to sit hot in CLT or DAY though).

I was hired in Nov, am TYS based, and not close to holding a line. TYS is a 2 leg for me and I can generally commute in on the day of my first reserve by requesting the late start. Other than that the rsv here is pretty brutal and scheduling is generally not flexible with requests.

The round 2 bid for April in CLT only had 12 reserves on it. 9 of which were buildups. Im not sure if this is for lack of bodies, or more lines, vacations, whatever. Also almost every vacancy for new hires since I've been hired were CLT. So the whole DAY/TYS faster line thing may not be all that true.

Crews have been good. Some of the overnights are terrible. I will be in CLT on June 1 but could have held it this month. So 4ish months to get CLT if everything remains the same.

Good luck at the interview.

Any interview tips other than the gouges out there? Thanks for the responses guys.

I love the crew meals! They are free! Seriously I dont understand why nobody likes them. In my opinion better than eating Burger King or Salsaritos everyday. The wrap is actually pretty good.

I am in CLT and have been moving pretty fast lately seems like alot of people moving on and or upgrading.

And for reserve being bad...yeah its bad, but this has been the easiest job I've had. Some people complain too much.
