this response makes zero sense

It’s funny he/she used the term “steal”. Regular pilots don’t have a say, period.

Now one has to wonder how much pairing building influence has the union scheduling committee. It is impossible to think that the pairing optimizer it’s building layovers in FLL to do day turns. Bringing a crew from another base and having to pay 2 hotel nights per pilot to do a CTG day turn makes zero sense from the cost perspective. It should be a day trip for a FLL crew. As a matter of fact, all Central/South America/Caribbean turns should be day turns and not built into trips. They pay block (except very few exceptions) so there’s absolutely no cost advantage into inserting them into multi-day trips to balance the trip rig out.

just like all the mco overnights for other bases, some are for early dept from one base to another, we do have morning base to base flights

What I tried to get across, is that flying into an airport doesn't require a base. I replied to someone who seemed to confuse the two.

Anyone have a similar breakdown for DTW or ORD? How soon could an FO expect a line with minimal weekends? Thanks!

[QUOTE=king10pin02;2960923]not really. you can own the airport without basing pilots....

I think one of the main reasons ACY is still open is because our reserves cover BDL, LGA, EWR, PHL, and BWI in addition to ACY. We keep Joe’s Limo in business 😂😂. If and when BWI opens up, who knows what will happen but it will be harder to cover EWR, LGA, and BDL with reserves.

I was being a bit facetious there

it hard to say. With 30+ upgrade and 60+ new hire a month (at least that’s the numbers the company wants). We can tell you how long it takes right now, but those numbers will drop.
