756 flying is shrinking fast.. 190+ lines in nov, 166 for dec.
we do a mix of west cost to Hawaii soon to go to the lax 756 domicile, a few UK trips from IAD soon to go to the iad 756 domicile. That will probably leave the iah 756 with some domestic hub to hub type flying and very occasionally some Hawaii or Europe trip via the east cost The plan for summer 2014 flying shows no intl flights for the 756 out of iah.
The 76t has been limited to a few 763 intl flights (lhr, lim, gru and eze) the december bid added to few domestic flights as well.
As far as how much reserves are used.. It depends..over the past 4 months my range was from low 80's hrs to nowhere near guarantee.
( 32 hrs so far for nov )
If you re looking for a good variety and intl flying, ewr is the place to go.
I wouldn t be surprised to see the bottom iah 76t fos come over to the 756 side because the bottom 76t fo would bid about 35% on the 756.

Listen man, you're going to say what you're going to say, and we'll say what we're going to say, but if you even remotely think that this SLI thing was argued and won on solid arguments and merits you're off you're rocker. This was about ALPA from the get go and just be thankful you worked for the airline with the larger pilot group. Had you not ALPA would have screwed you over with the same vigor as the CAL side got screwed.
Having said that, those same guys hired on in 98 you are complaining about were able to hold 756 CA, what position were you holding the day before the SLI award?
This was the most egregious SLI "award" in the history of the airlines and you know it and I know it. As for the get over it comment....easy for the windfall side to say huh? I'll do what I believe is the right thing to do....not what you believe.

I should have been more specific...when I said base I meant Base/Equip/Status. You are correct that you cannot move to another pilot domicile, only within the domicile you are currently staffed.
I'm surprised more UAL, super senior pilots are not more up in arms about this as it prevents true seniority based bidding.
Regarding the SLI, while I concede it's all relative, we all know this was a windfall for the UAL side and whether or not you want to admit that or not is up to you. Just know that I, and others like me, know you know it so don't insult my intelligence.
