Strangely, I have had every Holiday off this year so far which I didn't want. Due to Holiday pay here, senior people actually bid to work holidays. I have been able to pick up Holiday pay on most holidays though by picking up turn either on the trade board or open time.

Luckily, I have some time before I can apply to any 121 operator. Thanks for the reply!

Once my line could hold Sundays off I went almost a year without working a Sunday except for one that was my mistake. If you live in base reserve isn't bad at all. Overall I enjoyed my time at RAH. I was never there pre-2015 contract so I never saw that extremely toxic time in its history. Post-contract I was holding 17 days off, liked the plane I flew and people I flew with, and would have stayed a little longer to hold out for one of the Big Three if upgrades had been anywhere in sight for ORD.

2.5 months in and I've been happy here. Credited 110 hours during my IOE/reserve first month, of which I sat exactly one day reserve and then held a line the next month (LGA). I've liked almost every hotel, with some being exceptional. Still crediting 95+ hours this month and next month so I'm not interested or capable of picking up much more than that, but there is almost always open time available. I realize I'm pretty new but in my short experience the company has treated me with respect and I enjoy my trips and places we fly to and overnight in.
