4 four days... 14 off. 83 credit. All commutable.

Awesome overnights, like Yakima, IDA and Helena.

I'm 22xx out of 28xx, SLC based.

Two locals and EVERY weekend off! That’s all and I'm taking vacation for both of them; oh and an entire month of upgrade training starting on the 7th.

Another month of reserve at ORD for me. Maybe next month I will bid for a composite line, but I don't know how! Can anyone provide some guidance for a poor reserve whose first call has made no difference at all?

Don't bid at all. If you bid for a reserve line, it will always give you one, if it cannot build you a 75 hour line. PBS thinks reserve is better than an incomplet line, so it drops all the pairings and finishes with reserve.

I feel you pain though, March was my 15th straight month on reserve. although I did have 1 training event in that time. Being that Saturday is my last day, I didn't bid for April, but it once again would have been reserve.

I'm sure they'll throw some Reserve in there - anybody know when I can expect to see that?

Back in November, I was awarded a 68 hour line and no reserve was ever added. I ended up getting paid guarantee. I was sure not to alter my line at all, also. If I did, I know they'd balk at paying the 7 hours. I was bidding in the 130s out of 180 or so lines in DEN then.

If you are within the guaranteed lines posted under the bid info, you are guaranteed 75 hours of pay. They can only add reserve days to composite line holders. Those are the one between the guarantee on bid info and the targeted line holders on PBS.

As others have mentioned they'll add reserve days to bring you up to 75. If you call Brandi at x3838 you can request which days you sit reserve
