You can’t drop reserve days here even if the coverage is good?? Also how long to hold a line at Vegas or just in general??

Was told by a CP that 4 days are going away in favor of 2 day trips. Less overnights in places like MYR so irop recovery is easier. Just the messenger…

Doesn’t seem terribly efficient.

Correct, zero reserve drops…and many of us have been on reserve for a long time.

So what base can you hold a line the fastest? And what’s the time frame on when u can hold a line in that jr. base?

Also any long call reserve here? and are all reserve lines 12 days off?

FLL. Looks like junior line holder is a Q1 2021 hire, so almost a year. We have long call, but generally only a couple of lines per base.

SEE PM. 12 or 13 depending on month, but depending on the commuting situation and what RAP you get you can potentially add another half day off or more on the beginning or end of each reserve period. And if you get a trip that terminates in a deadhead back to base you can often just JS right back to home rather than returning to domicile.

Systemwide or in a particular base?
