92 hrs credit and 11 days off. Ugh. But, I did get 50% P1 trips, one P2 and one P3, so it could've been a lot worse. No PNs or CNs. Then again, I'm working the 24th-26th, but those are all standups, meaning I get to be home during the day.
This 90+ hour min credit, min days off stuff needs to stop. But who am I kidding? As long as OO can keep filling classes, things won't ever change.

Didn't the email say 34 lines for LAX? I am assuming that means 34 CA, FO and 60 or so FA transfers. On the LAX CRJ side, it seems to be picking back up after bottoming out in November and the US/AA shuffle. SFO has stayed pretty consistent with 55-60 or so in each seat for the ERJ and CRJ. It's hard to predict anything but I do see us getting more 175 flying just because of how much we are overstaffed in that plane.
I think they are hoping to be able to fill some flying that others can't staff and they are fine letting the CRJ suffer low levels to make it happen. The fact that you have the same reserve levels in DEN for E175/CRJ FO (6/5) for 120 Target lines (CRJ) vs 11 Target lines (E175) tells me they don't want crew cancels on the E175. But once the DL bennies get sorted out, I feel you will see more senior people out west start to bid over to that plane. Jr. CA on the 175 will be stuck at the bottom for a long time.

You're in the wrong base or something. I've gotten displaced at least once per month for the past 3 years. I got a DIOE last week and already have a PEN for December.

I fly with tons of captains who commute from SLC. I'm happy that there's a little light forming at the end of the tunnel for them. Most upgraded to MSP and ORD assuming they would never get back to SLC.

Maybe I'm just selfish but when I saw that for the 2nd time in a row I thought "damn a bunch of senior FOs from SLC are going to take all the upgrade slots for the 2nd month in a row." Bring on the MSP and ORD openings so the upgrades go more junior!
