Maybe reserve life is better on the Guppy. But regarding the Bus in EWR, there hasn't been much to pick up other than the LGA trips no one wants. The Bus does A LOT of LGA flying (around 40% of the trips). I don't volunteer for LGA trips, as getting there from PA is a Charley Foxtrot most of the time. So as far as "making my own line", that's not really feasible. And I can't remember the last time I broke guarantee on reserve. First world problems, I know.

Maybe the lesson here is that Pennsylvania is not really “in base” for Newark reserve.
Two and a half hours from your primary airport is legal for short call reserve. Eastern Pennsylvania is just a little over an hour from Newark. |

No, that is not "the lesson".

Someone who described himself as living in base said "LGA is too far from Pennslyvania" So yes, eastern PA is legal for SCR but if you avoid picking up trips because LGA is too far ... And so "the lesson" is that there are places to live "in base" that limit ones options. (And yes, living close to LGA certainly limits ones options as well) |

Interesting to see all the GUM TDYs just posted.
Paying them to be based there… and them paying them more to send them to hubs that are too expensive for anyone to want to be based. It’ll be interesting to see if other hubs will eventually get additional pay to be based there. I’d guess no extra pay for other bases. Covid has decimated pacific flying but the company wants to keep the base full in order to rebound. They’d rather pay for qualified GUM pilots to go TDY elsewhere as opposed to getting caught without enough GUM pilots whenever the flying picks up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I counted 88 Unfilled CA vacancies system wide on the first snapshot. Yeah, its still early in the game, but I believe this illustrates how pathetic narrowbody reserve can be.

Unfilled Captain bids in LAX, SFO, DCA and EWR. Crazy times! Plus over 100 unfilled WBFO in SFO alone. Heard we are hiring 2,000 pilots next year and we have already hired over 1,100 this year already with another class of 50 starting tomorrow.
