Airline Pilot Central Forums

You can only pick up flying on your off days. On your reserve days, you can call and ask for flying, but in my 5 months on reserve, they never once gave me a trip when I asked for it. Crew Scheduling is preprogrammed to say 'No' to all pilot requests, even if it would help them out. You'll see what I mean...

You can't just call and ask for any trip though. It's spelled out in the PPM. Inverse seniority order unless you bid call first according to the bucket system. I do wish we could get proffering though. That would be a huge QOL improvement for reserves.

Probably because the syallabus is not even out yet for 2017.

Any updates on news if IAH got the flying awarded again from UAL and if they are keeping the base open?

Nothing new since the last old announcements, but if the staffing situation at Mesa is any indication, they won't be able to staff the new ERJs coming there soon...while SkyWest on the other hand can easily do so and is more than willing. Just give it six months, it should be interesting to see.

If I had a nickel for every time someone said Mesa can't staff their flying, and we're going to get their flying, I'd have a couple bucks by now! We always said the same thing when I was at Comair 9 years ago! Maybe it's to make us feel good? Idk.
