It's like the gear, I've never landed without it down, and won't ever because it's like putting on shoes to me. I don't leave the house without shoes, because it's ingrained in me.

Wow. I clicked on this thread and my DeltaBravometer went all Chernobyl on me. Found him.

Actually, you can. Ignore the message, they had to put it in there because once upon a time we had very small domiciles like SBP where certain senior FA's would bid avoid most of the pilots in the base, rendering it very difficult to construct a line. When PBS was unable to build them a line to their preferences and respecting their bid avoids, it would fail and PN their entire month. The PBS powers that be got sick of listening to those FA's complain, so they added the error message. I have repeatedly asked and been told by the help line that you can still bid avoid multiple people.

Just don't avoid most of your base.

Thanks Electra. I don't want to be a tool, just a couple people out there I'd rather not fly with again and I'd like to put them both in all 7 layers.

Hello SkyWesters. Question, if I were to chose the E-jet, I hear the most junior base would be ORD. Can anyone confirm that? If so, what's the current reserve time there?

I also heard RJ pilots fly more, is that because there are too many E-Jet drivers?

Thanks for the help!
