Junioring is a lot better. I haven't been juniored since February, and staffing is worse for captains than on the FO side. Morale seems a lot better now that the junior manning has subsided.
Celeste, you can probably speak to this better, but at the end of the last decade "when dinosaurs ruled the Earth" you had to bid Golden Days in 3 day blocks, IIRC.Originally Posted by Celeste
Since it is pref bid you can bid shorter stretches of reserve if you want. But 5-6 days of reserve is pretty typical. Non- golden days off can and do get moved around. With the FO side actually having decent reserve coverage, they might not be jacking the reserve schedules around as much. Junioring is a lot better.

Looks like they're letting you bid on an individual date basis from the reserve grid. Is that true? If so, massive change for the better if you're a senior reserve guy/gal. Lets you protect your long weekends.
