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 😉

So, learn us up. Why the glow in the dark, secret decoder ring? There are a few hundred of us who would like to know what no longer applies. Espirit de corps and all that rot.

Yeah I'm kind of curious, too.
Now where's that spiked sledgehammer?

One of the things that changed is the crew desks lock down of trip trading/drops on this BES. Lotsa of open flying. Reserve is an acquired taste, like scotch. Works for some, not all. But not a kick, or sledgehammer, in the nuts.
Because EWR was deslotted, and has constant ground stops, trips, and PP opportunities for line holders, constantly pop up. If you want to fly on reserve, EWR narrowbody is for you. Sit at home on reserve? Look elsewhere.
Glad to answer questions on reserve today.

I laid out the basic premise in post 4.
