Mesa's schedules are horrible right now. Company does not plan on making them more efficient any time soon. 77 hour lines with min days off. Anyway should be a quick upgrade but you really need to live in base. I commute and running a 6 day trip with 2 days off is really sucking right now.

4day backed up by a 2day or 3day backed up by a 3day. It's not really a 6day trip. But when you commute, you don't fly home on the split.

Are you bidding a pretty junior line? Surely it's got to be better for those higher up in seniority. You've got to be having a huge block of days off somewhere with that schedule, even with min days off? At least one block of six off, otherwise you'd be flying four 'six' day trips a month with only six days off.

Some people are. But the 4 day trip average credit is around 17.5. So it's tough for PBS to build a line over 77 hours with more than 11 days off. I think about 95 percent of the folks here are just getting 11 days off. A lot of people that are living in base are just bidding reserve. Reserves aren't working a lot right now so what's the point if you can't bid a 90 hour line for better pay.
