Also, to add to the response about trips out of IAH, once you get a relief line you can do some shuffling with your schedule via trip trades, especially if you're concerned about trip length. I live in IAH, and I haven't spent a single night in a hotel yet this month. You've really got to watch open time like a hawk, though, to make it work.

Scenic is almost always hirring, drop a line and see. It's a fun place to work. On the Express Jet note it sounds like a good place to work.

Someone hitting the line this month is probably going to sit reserve at least through early next year I would think, unless we start hiring or upgrading more. Attrition out of 2800 or so pilots is only about 12-16/month right now.

He is right though we have quit hiring for the time being. Rumor is starting again in the fall. (I'll believe it when I see it) As far as IAH, you will not get it at first because all the last new hires got CLE or EWR. I am one of those trying to get to Houston with no hope in sight unless we hire again.
