I've done VEC a majority of this year and it's been fantastic. I'd say 95hrs credit in a non-vacation month would be on the lower end for me. Granted I'm the #1 RSV in my BES so I'm pretty aggressive in grabbing SCs to avoid flying. If anyone have Qs about it I'd be happy to help.
Only applicable if you are fortunate enough to live in base. Don’t try this as a commuter .

I know, my point is more that a vacancy award is not really reflective of what longevity it takes to hold a BES. For instance tho past vacancy there weren’t any NBCA in ORD but the Airbus backfill went to 8200. That doesn’t really reflect accurately that it takes that many years to hold NBCA on the bus.

i think those numbers are probably representative of post 2023 norms. Reserve is decent and they aren’t hiring 20% of the airline in 1 year

Its going to stay there. Hell our WBCA plug has been the plug for 2 years. Nothing is getting more junior in foreseeable future.

i think it kind of does….NBCA and WBFO went massively Junior in a different era under an old contract. Since then it has gone a lot more senior based on company percentage.
