That's nice to have a good mix of trips. Do most of the 4days report early or is there a mix of report times later in the day. Just wondering if a commuter can ever hope to commute in on the day of (as seniority allows of course).

It's worth it.

I was told in July, when I was hired that it would take 5yrs to hold DEN. Watching the movement right now, I'd bet on year three... maybe. CLE seems similar if not just a bit more senior.

there is little to no movement in CLE… I wouldn't plan holding a line on it anytime soon if your a new hire.

Are you basing that on what you've seen in the recent past?

Just curious... is there a document that shows when people are retiring from different bases?

Not that you can hurry things along, but it would be nice to have an idea.

Thanks

Ok. I need a little help guys. Starting class soon and trying to get to IAH asap. Some have suggested that I bid the 320 since they believe the 737 fleet there to be shrinking and the 320 fleet expanding. Am I misunderstanding how to read the vacancy bid? I see the 737 100% spot going to a more junior guy. Is that just a lasting effect from previous bids?

At the end of the day, I just want to get to IAH and end the commute. Thanks from the FNG.
