You won't have to commute anymore, you can be at home while on reserve, you have family in Texas, and you'll fit right in wearing that hat in the summertime.
Points of reference: 1. You have always known how senior South Florida cities are as well as the fact that the whole world is trying to get there during the tourist months,
2. You knew how crappy PBS is before you knew you would be on reserve.
Comment: Do something that betters your life rather than whine about how miserable you are.
Peace, out.

Just did the survey. I emphasized date of hire as priority one with no management/supervisor exceptions. Also, it is disconcerting to see that at CAL, unaccompanied spouses and kids do NOT travel on your seniority. I "strongly agreed" that an unaccompanied spouse and eligible kids should be boarded on the employees seniority AHEAD of more junior active employees.

any word on UAL's future policy of upgrading platinum elites on international segments. There was talk about plat elites receiving 6 business/first class international upgrades a year that could be transferable to anyone they wanted. This policy could completely screw your chances of getting first on a vacation pass.
edit: I found what i was looking for. "Starting in 2010, members who earn at least 100,000 Elite Qualification Miles (EQMs) or 120 Elite Qualification Points (EQPs) will earn four one-way electronic System-wide Upgrade certificates for use on Continental, Continental Micronesia or Copa Airlines flights."
These just started being redeemed. That much more of a reason to ask for a few PS0's on vacation passes.

But remember, those airline's express/connection carriers give priority to their own employees on their own aircraft before the mainline employee. And there's a crap load of both CAL and express commuters from places that ONLY an express carrier serves.
