Nice for having a vacation without having to use your actual accrued vacation time if you can hold those lines.

The secret as I've said on here a few times, if you don't want to work, is live in base and bid reserve. Admittedly, there is no reserve on the jet right now, but will be eventually.

I only worked 8 days in February and I only had I think 4 overnights. Half of that flying was just empty part 91 ferry flights. As for this month...I haven't even SEEN a Dash 8 yet this month.
Perfect, this is exactly what I was looking for. This would be a major change in being able to organize outside activities.

Thanks for the info!

So all those guys getting displaced out of philly this month. You think they're gonna stay on the Dash or are most of them just going to the jet?

Kinda interesting the emails we got today about the incentive program and the bid.

I think a lot of those guys getting displaced will take the jet actually. They're not going to come to Roanoke. Even with the incentive program.
Too much of a pain to commute more than anything.

What does the fleet plan look like? Assuming one meets 121 CA minimums upon hiring how long until you could realistically hold jet CA

I started in October and finished SOE last month. I'm hoping I will hold 145 CA either this bid or the next.

Rumor is that the Jan In-doc class is finally headed to systems... did it really take 2 months for them to get you guys in?
