Thats why you get no sympathy from me.

Oh please you’re assuming everyone on reserve checkerboarded their schedules. It clearly never occurred to you that I might not have been one of those people, I did drop days for sure, but not checked board style, and only so I could get time off for family events. But hey it’s all good for you now since reserves really can’t drop much.

flyingpuma1, Alphafloor THANK YOU! 
Lou Turk...
I have been on RES for 6 years and NEVER did the checkerboard you are referring to!
You are just looking for someone to blame.
The opponent is NOT your fellow pilots, it's Bendover and BOB you misguided fool.

Maybe not? Not sure how long it is in ACY to get a line. Heck I can barely (only because people bid down) hold a relief line after two years (not acy)

5 years in, sat reserve 2 months as a new-hire, bypassed upgrade 4 months, never had to do reserve as captain (had reserve as a captain 2 months later on because needed specific days of, not because I couldn't hold a line).
