It is something the company has talked about. It would be done within seniority, but accomplish by artificially inflating a base (think about all the SLC losers). Then they'd just TDY the snot out of you until you A) blew your brains out B) quit C) go postal.

If SGU wants to set up a program to alleviate that, while honoring seniority, then I am all for it. TDY takes care of the same staffing problem, but with positive space travel, parking at home, a hotel, and per diem to the new pilot that might be sitting reserve far from home on their own dime otherwise, or enjoying crashpad life. I think its a good idea.

Not saying I like OBR, but letting you go to a base you otherwise can't hold, and positive space you to (say Chicago or MSP) to cover flying with rooms paid for is basically giving commuters PS and free hotel rooms. The key is how do you honor seniority in the process of doing so.

tdy to another base, you bid after that base is finished bidding and you get what is left, reserve.

Some folks got sim SLC without a break. Most of us got the end of March off from the 19th on, and sims starting early April in ATL, CVG, and STL.

I got the opportunity to take a month off between ground school and sims which I would really have liked, but I defered it to the gentleman one spot below me who wanted the time off with his family. I still wish I could have taken it!
