A much better representation of overall "line holding ability" would be in about April.
Having said that, on CA's are done so I don't have FO data anyway.

Edit: Schedule are up on Crew Pay... Such a teaser: 10 months RSV, then get a line, now back on RSV lol.

Early morning 3 weeks ago, I had someone stop by the flight deck and asked if he can program the flight plan in the FMS because he was very familiar with it from flight simulator game he has at home .
OMG. Are you find real? Flight simulator !

I think I'll be fine, but thanks for the concern.
