To get a VEC line next month as a IAH 737 CA, you only need to be around 19% or 3,100ish system wide. Reserve isn’t all that senior now.🤪

this is a bad faith post. VEC is very specific and only a few are offered. Your emoji doesn’t make the post better.

thanks! And thanks blue scholar. As someone whose been doing a transcontinental commute from LA the last 2 years any QOL is an improvement haha

Within a year except for December…reserve coverage is usually doubled

I recommend getting Aircrew Edge. Once you create an account, you can see where you land in different BES (or category for those that prefer that term instead :p).

It'll break down by percentage it takes to hold a line, the different types of reserve, commutable trips (you set this parameter), the type of layover, weekend off, etc…

It’s a great tool for about $5/month. Free for Half Wingers. Hope this helped!

thank you! Looks like you need a class date to make account. But can’t wait to use this.

80%

This... It is not uncommon for the bottom guys and gals in several bases to be unable to hold reserve, especially in the slower months.
