At least that’s my understanding.
Keep in mind, while your recommendation is very meaningful it does not guarantee the applicant an interview, they must reach our internal “cut score” to be invited to interview.
this is right from the email from OC Miller about hiring.

Agreed. Getting a bump from a pilot to get scored is one thing, but if your score isn’t competitive, whatever competitive means now, no invite to interview.
On the flip side, even if your score would be stellar, with no internal it may be difficult to get pulled and scored in the first place.
Sounds like a familiar system...almost like it came from a delta guy

True story.
Nov has: (approx)
1 day - 205 trips
2 days - 82 trips including red eye turns
3 days - 65 trips
4 days - 63 trips
5 days - 58 trips
6 days - 68 trips
trips are more "evenly distributed" throughout each line these days

You know I really appreciate having a job still and should not be complaining , but unless your single, bidding the top 20% in your seat, or dont care about your QOL, the lines are now complete trash.
We should not be allowed to do 5 or 6 day trips, period. If you bid reserve you don’t even have an option to sit reserve for 3-4 days, 5 or 6 day blocks only. And be prepared to get called every day. I can understand being sent out for 3-4 days, but 6 days , some even 7?! Come on. The people building the lines clearly don’t fly them.
look at line 2086 for November, 7 days out, 1 day home, then 6 days out again. Crazy. Living out of a suitcase for 14 days straight? It’s not fair for junior guys.
I think it will change again when pax flying comes back, but who knows if they are building them like this now they might stay with it. OC Miller told us in ground school before the whole pandemic happened that the day trips were going away. I just did not think it would be this bad.
I came here from a regional because I wanted a better QOL, flying multiple 4 day trips a month was tiring. But seems like things are even worse here now. Again , I should be grateful I have a job and I am , but I really do hope it changes back when things go back to normal.
