I've no idea why the employee number isn't next to the line award. Seems like HDQ is just screwing with us. They had to deliberately leave that info off the report.

Seeing how I'd bid in the top 5-10% in every domicile outside SLC I found I was able to figure out where I'd sit with just a little effort. And I'm glad to be able to see what others are getting. If you have to determine the 80% position it would be harder.

You missed a domicile that you wouldn't bid in the top 5-10%...

I figured incorrectly a "reason" list was going to be posted. At first glance, this data is almost useless to finger shenanigans as we already know trips go junior normally due to globalization.

Are y'all recommending American over United?

Nobody said that. Everyone is saying that Houston is not the best place to be for a regional pilot right now. You would be better off moving or commuting than setting your sights on being based in Houston.

But you can't really tell where you sit in other domiciles. The seniority list on SWOL isn't accurate at all. In one domicile 122 captains are on the SWOL list while only 82 lines (reserve and line holders) were awarded on the PBS list. That means 40 guys are still in training. That's enough to skew the numbers by quite a bit.

It shouldn't be that easy. That's the point of it being anonymous. However you can figure it out in base pretty easily just by doing 3 mins of work like others said. But you are complaining that you can't figure out different bases. Just get someone from that base to give you the seniority list and BAM, you have it. Also you will NEVER truly know what you will get. As we all know PBS is almost impossible to actually figure out because of the globalization BS. What worked for that past 3 months will all of a sudden give you PN/CN trips over weekends. Also Everyone changes how they bid depending on what they need. So again you willl NEVER truly know. This is "transparency" is to give more insight into if you bid specific pairings and say someone junior got your trip when you get CN'd. That's about it. You will only get a ballpark idea of what your seniority will hold if you transfer.

If anybody has recently gone through the ctp course, I'd like to pm you with a few questions. I'm going to Atl for it on the 4th. Thank you!

Avoid going out at night if possible.

Take advantage of this opportunity to learn some of the basics of 121ops. Is it life changing, no. but it will help bridge the gap between previous aviation experience and 121. Additionally, you just don't know who's watching. Falling asleep in class because you went out in Buckhead or hit-up the Clermont Lounge is strongly discouraged.

700/900CRJ Suggestion:
Try flying around will all cockpit vents open with or without the air directed at you.

Try it the next time you are half done with a long cruise and you are thinking about bumping the heat, open all the vents and watch the ECS PAGE, you may be surprised how much better it works.

ERJ guys on west coast reserve, or just starting to hold a line: Can you give me an update on how many hours you fly a month?

I've heard 30-50 hrs (IF you call and ask for trips all the time). I'm wondering if that's actually possible.
I might switch to the CRJ before Indoc unless it's possible to fly that much on reserve, increasing to much more with a line. Is this wishful thinking? Thanks again!
