certainly not MCO right now. I’d say DTW or FLL.

Thanks in advance

What city? Weird you put it that way...

saying “I live in Charlotte” doesn’t exactly make your SSN visible to people….

Definitely disagree with MCO. You'll get a line fastest in FLL, followed by DTW. ORD new hires are holding lines faster than MCO new hires at the moment.

I understand that generally reserve blocks are of 6 days… but can anyone tell how much do you really typically work in those 6 days? Is it common to get a trip assigned on the first day that ends on the sixth day? How often do you get called in to work when on reserve? If based on FLL

As a reserve FO you’ll be used almost every single day on reserve. Rarely have I gotten more than 13 days off/mo. While it may not be a full 6 day trip, it could be two 3 day trips, and so on.

The trip mix got changed from mostly 4 days to a lot of 1/2/3/4 day trips. You’re bucketed with other reserves based on days left. If you have 6 days left and there are other available reserves with less days available, you’re less likely to get used. With that said, we’re short handed, so it isn’t common for the benches to get cleared everyday.
