Two days off or two day in a hotel to be provided by the company between assignments in different bases. Also, your vacation resets with each new base assignment. I.e., you lose whatever you bid for in the previous base and have to settle for whatever is left in the new one.

Thanks guys.
So just a scenario, since I’ve heard FLL/DTW are the best places to get a line quick, could we bid first to a base closest to home, say DFW, to be in reserve, and then bid to FLL/DTW when I’m able to hold a line there and then move back to DFW once able to hold a line there?

yup definitely an option as long as we keep having monthly vacancy bids. We should for a while but you never know when they’ll stop. (Covid or any other thing could stop them whenever)

And, should there be another ‘black swan’ event that seriously affects flying, you could not only be at a base that isn’t your actual base of choice, but back on reserve as well.

Depends on your own risk tolerance. There are people that bid where they can hold a line, dump their entire schedule and rebuild it out of open flying at their base of choice. Your option when you can hold a line. Just understand the risks if you are the one with no chair when the music stops…
