Not sure where you're getting the numbers for captains. Most junior company wide is 4 years. Most junior captain in SFO is 7 and a half.

Well I looked directly at the seniority list and made a guess. After almost 10 years here you start to lose interest in the seniority list.

There are bonuses for typed peopled. Right now SkyWest is still filling classes without raising the pay, until that dries up I don't believe they will since there's no reason to.

Only prepackaged food without nuts or meats basically.

And Mexico in general, rules apply at their will. So if you bring something within the rules and they like how it looks, they'll take it.

Any Mexico trip I have pack food up to but not including anything in Mexico.

What some crews do is just leave your food in the crew room in iah/lax for the Mexico overnight.

Oh, and what goes through one time isn't guaranteed to go through the next. I've seen far too many people get all their food taken.

Your assumption is completely untrue. Yes, all reserve lines must be awarded, but they don't do that first. If you are 20 from the bottom and there are 20 reserve lines, the only way you aren't getting a full reserve line is if someone senior to you bids a reserve line. If you aren't in the guaranteed landholder range but higher than reserves, you are in the targeted range. You may or may not get a full line depending on what is left by the time you are processed. If you don't get 75 hours and you aren't a guaranteed landholder, you are composite. There is no conspiracy in that.

I think it is pretty telling that every month we are the only airline to have so many posting about bad lines.
PBS needs to be stopped from globalizing and any forced hours over 84 needs to be premium.

What's a bad line look like? I am still on reserve but when I get a line I want to fly my pants off. Load me up. Who needs days off when you have a major airline to go to.
