We all have different circumstances. I can get 18 off in STL right now but I'm a commuter so I prefer to bid specific commutable trips.

Overall, I actually am happy here. Things over the last week have irritated the living hell outta me but in the grand scheme of things probably don't matter too much. I'm just not going to be doing any favors any time soon (which isn't really all that different from the normal me so I doubt they'll even notice).

I'm on the CHQ certificate. I can't tell you where to go because I'm not you. If you want to be out west, I'd say SKW. If you want to be in the east, I'd say RAH. It's really a toss up.

Thanks for your insight sounds like from some people on the forums that possily commuting to STL from MCO may be an option? How senior is STL?

Through the summer, I was a line holder blocking 95 hours (sorry, don't really keep track of credit). Usually 16 days, with 4 four-day trips.

As of Jan 2008, I'm on reserve in SLC. I do my last trip (sniff, sniff) on the 27th, five days, AUS, BUF, ATL, SFO overnights.

Who does not keep track of credit? That is your pay!

Is that to coincide with the SWA flying?

There is no SWA flying, it's just a rumor and I put no real stock in rumors. Yes I've discuss them but personally they have no merit until the a/c start showing up.

It’s your money; make sure it doesn’t become theirs!

That's awesome, I lived in that area and almond industry conference was the highlight of the year for the locals, so way to go SKW with your bases, I mean Fresno is soo cool after all.
