my previous whip could…

Pretty sure the schedule will start to thin out considerably. Careful what you wish for. Think summer travel season especially abroad is toast. Enjoy your ESLRs everyone.

I'll take the other side of that bet. First 'war' crisis you've observed?

other than overflight issues (India, Asia, etc) this conflict won’t impact our summer flying one bit. The price of gas going up due to supply issues (Thx Uncle Joe)… that’s what might impact our recovery due to higher operations costs.

gotcha. Ccs message must have been a figment of my imagination. Save your rationalization for someone who cares. For someone who isn’t worried, you’re posting alot about it. Yacht and Private Jet must be in the shop.

I’m a month late to this discussion, but the schedules don’t look a ton different for April either. It seems to me that this is primarily a trip efficiency/productivity problem more than a line credit value problem. At the regionals I was able to get 85 hours and 16 days off. Seems like this is related to our relatively weak daily min of 5 hours averaged across the whole trip, instead of a simple min day pay of 5 for each day. Our current rig means that to get better than a 20 hour 4 day requires working pretty hard every day.
Any other input?

When I was a commuter I used to bid credit per day to get productivity. At 50% it should be pretty easy to do. I think the 90 hr lines are from the company upping Line Production Averages to force more onto reserve. I have been an on again/off again lineholder as EWR 737 CA. At 78% even with not submitting a reserve bid and my final bid group being waive everything, award work I still got reserve in March. That’s amazing to me considering in march I was only off the g line by like 10 numbers. Back to a line in April, however.

how much productivity were you able to average? It seems like our daily rig makes it difficult to get a lot more than 5 or 6 hrs per day

out of curiosity- what was your daily rig at your commuter?

I don’t recall. I seem to remember 18+ hr 3 days and 25+ hr 4 days. Nowadays I live in base so I like my longer layovers.
