It was a slow news day. The Enquirer had a story too. Its just catchup from our small gain from a couple weeks ago.

 

How can I tell how close I am to holding a line?

 

Put me down as a maybe for tonight. 2000 @ BWW..correct?

Edit: Okay I'm In.

 

Terantious,

This may not be the easiest way, but I usually pull up the most current line awards (same place you pull up the bid packets online) and scroll down until I start seeing reserve lines. I then take a look at what people were bidding just above that, keeping in mind some people may have actually bid reserve. Then, you settle on a specific line as being the cutoff and count down until you find your line. When the next bid packet comes out, I then look at the difference in block hours from the previous month, as well as how many positions I moved up to determine my chances of getting a line for that month. Someone may have a better way, but this method was pretty accurate.
You might also consider that this company likes 25-30% of the pilots in each domicile to be on reserve. Ftrpilot may have a more precise number, but you can see whether you fall into that percentage of people as well. Hope this helps!

I'll give it a try..thanks. I've got nothing but time here on ready reserve.

 

Slacker, go mop the floor

 

Before epic went down again today I pulled up the list of 70 reserve FO's and there was 6. All six had trips. It seems we just get shorter and shorter and shorter.

Now wheres my Crack open in case of JM beer!
