Not everyone wants a build up line. I put them at the bottom of my bid card because I live in base and believe it or not reserve is a better QOL. Some days I don't get used and get extra days off. Technically I had 15 days off in July.
Again, for those of you arguing the point just go look on Flica. It doesn't matter how he got it two months in a row. The fact is he got a build up line in Round 2, twice, and is a Nov 14 hire. Spin it whichever way you like.

Can anyone please post the most junior FO line holder date of hire for the 3 bases? Also, how many days off you average off per months as a line holder? And one more to be greedy, are lines on the one varient over the month or all 3?
Thanks in advance!

I've been off IOE for about 2 months and still on 1100 SCR... But I've been awarded a 4 day trip every single reserve period so at least I'm not sitting around. Reserve times will drop again though in a few months because we have resumed FO classes and planes are still being added.

Lucky you...
I have been on reserve just over 2 months in TYS. Always held 1100 SCR and fly once ever 2.5 weeks or so. Haven't flown sine August 1 this month.
Looking at being on reserve till at least November or December.

You can opt for an additional build up line by selecting "additional bid options" just above submit bids button. It will give you a drop down menu to select that option. It is set to "no" be default. If an additional line becomes available scheduling will assign it based on who opted for it and seniority. You don't get any say in which days off you get, overnights or aircraft. Also I don't know which Capts are not getting used but I'm a DAY capt March 2014 hire on rsv and I fly 70hrs a month.
So did you check the box and not
receive additional buildup?..

I assume Short Call Reserve. Is that still 2 hours response time?
