I just got off the 787 after being forced onto it two years ago in indoc, base traded to San Fran to be closer to Denver. With this newest vacancy I'm going to line holder every once and awhile to probably no lines in the foreseeable future.
My last reserve month was rough, I flew 90 hours and with the new reserve utilization instead of FIFO with short calls they would call me right after a trip to use me on the last day of reserve. They ran out of reserves multiple days and I was home a total of 12 days that month with commuting, short calls and trips. It's a far cry from landings class to landings class I had when I first got on the fleet. I'm thinking this new vacancy will allow more to be put on reserve and it might be a sweet deal again, might not. In any case, I'll switch back when I have the seniority!
