Thanks [RJ Pilot]. I was not sure since it has the same amount of overnights. I have an 18 hour, but want a 12 hour, same amount of days/overnights. It is open 2 weeks in a row so would take me down from being right at guarantee to being like 60 hours. Sounds like that idea is goneeeee.

Its just a flukey month, it is not representation of the actually overall airline, it is a one month fluke most likely.

He is one of the fng's that gets weekends off 18 days off lines while 5yr FO's cant even hold weekends because of different equipment.

not even close, just got lucky because of some voluntary TDYs, come next month it will be back to reserve with no end in sight. I also cant control it, so please dont blame me, I am just trying to ask a few questions on how things work, I could not find it in our contract/FM1.

That's it to bad thoes guys are going to give up there line in a few months when guys like me on the ATR come to the jet. I'll be picking either one in NY depending on quality of line. I will have spent a year on reserve.

I appreciate the comment, and will most likely take the contract if that is the only option. The only way I might refuse it is in the details. For instance, let's say that after 12 months of the contract I get furloughed. Would that terminate the contract or would I have to pay off the contract in order to go somewhere else? I'm new to all this.

Not trying to count my chickens before they hatch either... I have yet to get an interview offer. Just trying to find out as much as I can.
