Will you bypass upgrade so that someone junior to you can have the seat and pay sooner? No? Well, that's awfully self-centered.

Everything that we do when exercising our seniority is self-centered. Every pilot will bid what is best and attainable for them with no regard for those junior to them. That's how seniority works. We don't begrudge those senior to us nor do we fail to exercise our own for those junior. Wanting to improve the QOL for all of those on the list is not self-centered. If you read my reply you'd see that I addressed diluted QOL for junior Captain's and for First Officers. A rising tide lifts all boats but we need that tide in the same ocean.

How strict or lenient is the commuter policy? Symbian mentioned getting an OAL positive space to cover an x/y call, but would the normal commuter ever see that happen?

Nope. No commuter hotels.

What they’ll do for an x/y list trip I guess Kind of depends on how desperate they are. Right now I wouldn’t count on it often.

As for normal commutes they’ll typically work with you. During the winter apocalypse that ORD experiences this last year I tried to commute up there. My first try was about 18 hours before my rap. I was behind a crap ton of non revs and about 9 jumpseaters with priority. I called and told them the deal. 30 minutes later they bought me a ticket.

Anyone on here commute to reserve in ACY? Got an interview coming up and looking at my options for each base out of BNA and ACY seems like it would be the hardest to get to. Seems like flying into PHL and driving an hour is almost the best option. Trying to plan out every scenario if I get an offer and this is the only one that concerns me. Thanks in advance for any advise!

At worse you’ll see ACY for 1 month and that 1 month you’ll likely have a relief line.
