2. 4 months
3. Next month (although I thought that 2 months ago)
4. Low month 23 hours, high month 45
5. Short callouts, getting called on off days to sit ready reserve the next day (didn't answer that one), nothing too out of the ordinary, though.

OT
from the urban dictionary: "douchebag"
n. fr. "douche", fr. French, fr. Italian "doccia"
1. An object used for vaginal hygeine.
2. An individual who has an over-inflated sense of self worth, compounded by a low level of intellegence, behaving ridiculously in front of colleagues with no sense of how moronic he appears.

You're FLYING 90+ hours a month?!!!! AND on reserve?
WOW!. You must have no time off for your "girlfriend", or yourself.
BTW, if you are doing all that by "picking up" trips, it might mean your company needs more FOs. By you (and others) NOT picking up excessive OT, you force the company to hire MORE FOs . That means you get to move up in seniority. And if the Capts do the same, that means they need more CPTs, and you get to up grade quiker!!!
Just a thought.

Sorry. This past weekend was a "case in point". They were DYING for guys/gals to show for work. They didn't have enough reserves, and the people that were around, didn't have enough time to come in and help (30/7)
I couldn't 'cause I was on my 7th day today, so...(wish I could ,Junior Man=200%pay!!! and I am last on the list
)
They cx'd n upgrade class last month because they were short on FOs for last and this month.
Oh, I could go on...

2. Almost 2 years
3. Maybe in April, I was 8 people away for March, and there are upgrades scheduled.
4. Yes, about 50-60 hours. Crediting about 80 (will change in new contract). My high month credit was 112hrs.
5. There are a couple. Our scheduling department has a very high turnover rate, so they don't know the rules well at all.
