Reserve you get 6 golden days off- golden meaning that the scheduling dept cannot take away or move. The rest can be moved and manipulated on a whim.
Line holders have no golden days. It doesn’t matter that you are a line holder. If they need someone to cover a flight they will junior you. There really isn’t a limit to the junioring. Reason is the contractual language isn’t great. Amazing how they will redefine things to get what they want.

Of course everyone is trying to get out. It’s always been that way. Regionals are not and have never been a final destination.
That said, I would suggest someone think long and hard before bailing for another regional. Make sure you understand and have your reasons well defined before you make the leap.
Along those same lines, before anyone picks a regional these days needs to make sure they are going somewhere that works for them. Several years ago you basically went to whoever called first (assuming more than one called, but was sometimes just one). Now we have the luxury of being picky, so be picky and smart.

Maybe 14 or 15 if you could find high credit trips and have the seniority to hold min credit for the month. Realistically though its 12 or 13 because most of our 4 day trips block less than 20 hours right now. Plus you won't get that for a while with all the Junior manning going on right now. Best you will get is 12.

Junior Manning Question
Forgive the ignorance.. Contractually they can only junior you so many times yes? And you're contractually supposed to have the 11 or 12 days off yes?
What happens if you say no? You've done your 4 day trip (Contractually they can make you do NO more than 4(?) Nights?) Are they going to fire you when they're so short and theyre breaking the rules?

If you refuse a legal assignment then you can be disciplined for it.

True. Don’t answer and your good. Except when the acars rolls in. Nothing you can do there. A CP intercepts you, probably on the hook again (tho havent heard of this happening). Call to get TO data because a deferred acars, Got YA!
