It's Yin & Yang, the principle that all things exist as inseparable and contradictory opposites.



For example....

Well I’ll be darned! All these years as a Chinese philosopher and you just hit me like a ton of sacks with that correction. I guess I’ll have to go back to the rocket surgeon academy get learned up. :)

How often was CS putting you on SC/FSB during this time? Or was it mostly LSR?

I usually picked up 5 SCs and then went radio silent. Averaged about 7-8 SCs. I didn’t pack a bag most of the time.

Before the software caught up, I was picking up 12-13 SCs and was getting some good add pay. Once they fixed the glitch, I stopped at 5. I sometimes people caked up an extra SC to adjust my spot in the SILO.

There is effectively no LC rsv. Right?

For 737/320, yep. Not necessarily true for 757.

I ask because I'm considering bidding up to the 757, but will initially be commuting to reserve until I can move to base in about a year. I'm currently commuting to reserve on the 737 (just under 2 years now) and it's becoming untenable. Wondering if I'd have better luck with not being assigned FSB/SC on every reserve day on the 75 fleet.

You need to spend more time with Hop Sing.

Lateral to a base where you can get a line. Near the west coast, SFO. Near the east coast, EWR. At least you'd know your schedule every month and could trip trade.
