:D Touché

That’s kinda my point . I realize your son has the brain wired skills to make PBS his golden ticket. I get that. A few pilots here that actually like it because THEY have mastered it.

This shouldn’t be the case for a tool that 12,000 guys use every month. I mean it’s 2018/2019 this is truly
The best system our company / union can come up with ? I am also not knocking the guys who volunteer their time to help guys like me. I’m great full they exist . But maybe if the system wasnt from 1946 we wouldn’t need a group of Seal Team 6 guys helping the rest of us clowns every month.

In all seriousness, if I took the bid now as a EWR 320 CA I’d be right around 15 from the bottom. It looks like guys at 10-15 from the bottom are getting a decent amount of weekend days off. As a bottom NB RSV CA commuting, how many actual days do you guys spend at home each month? Asking for a friend 😉

Any reserve? Plan on being in domicile every reserve day. Rare to be able to stay at home on long call. Crew desk makes sure that can't happen.

Narrow body reserve, and commuting? That's a bad recipe. Field standby!! Not to mention continuous rolling short calls, going into your last day. So you may be able to get weekends off, but you will be commuting on those days. I would not recommend it.

But you say, I can aggressive pickup! To non-commutable trips. That's why they are open in the first place.

You can improve your seniority position by being intuitively computer geekish and trick-fugging the PBS computer. It's like virtual "monthly" seniority.

When I was commuting reserve as a 320 Capt in LAX I’d was averaging about 8 days a month at home.

Purposefully commuting to NB reserve is an unbelievably stupid idea. Just wake up every morning and hit your nuts with a hammer. It'll be less painful.

Every morning except for 8 a month, apparently!

Not just any hammer, a 2 lb sledge hammer with special nut spikes welded to the face.

Oh God don't exaggerate. It's more like a 1 lb sledgehammer.
