The last two months bidding to fly just means you will get 6 readys and a few random out and backs. It used to be great when you could get a couple 4 day trips. I just finished 5 days on and didn't fly once. They love to change me to long call now. I hope march is better but the new hires coming to cinci now hurt things because they need their 100 hours.

I'm a CVG 50 FO. My March line is great. A 79 hour line with 17 days off. 2 4 days and 1 5 day trip. Haven't seen this type of line in a couple of years. Hopefully this trend continues.

There may be a slight drop in block hours for April, but by May they should be on the way back up with the summer season beginning to kick off. Those of you in JFK that are at the cut-off for line holders should be off reserve then.

That's because it used to be true. If there's one thing you can count on around here, it's change -- and lots of it.

Exactly! Reserve in JFK used to be 3-4 months, that of course changed quickly when GSO and MCO shut the doors. Like I said before, I smell another reduction in hours for April, especially since they are offering a COLA again in JFK.

Who knows... the last COLA bit them in the ass with attrition and increased flying...

Whats up with this month's saw? They havn't posted the pdf files for the add drop trade requests. I am trying to drop a 4 day on the 25th of March worth 18 or so hours. Anyone want it?

Hmm, must be a rough day today. Completion is showing -53.8%!

How does that work? Do we have flights flying backwards?

Unfortunately, I have just overnighted in LGA. Looks like I might just set up shop here. Oh well

Its days like today where I wish I was flying in NYC!!

Let the madness and insanity reign down.

Speaking of winter, I actually de-iced in JFK the other day for the first time in 3 years. They did a really nice job surprisingly since they never have a chance to practice!
