I'm a twice furloughed and now vol furloughed pilot trying to figure out what I can hold and when and if it is worth coming back.

Can someone PM with the list so I can see it. Also if I come back can I only bid what the new hire class has on offer or can I bid what I can hold and what about seat locks.

I've been out of the loop for years so I have no information on anything.

PMAIL me and I will help you as best I can.

There are some bases that might look good on paper but there simply have not been any bids available to get there. In addition to the junior man chart, look at the fleet rosters for your desired base to figure out your actual % in that BES for a more realistic picture.

Case in point, EWR junior 777 FO is something like 9800. Last vacancy bid junior guy that got it was 4400. Same story for 73/756 left seats.

Anyone care to speculate on 73 FOs at IAH? Same guy at the bottom of the list since last fall and we've all been moving backward WRT the G Line. Contemplating a move to EWR where I'd easily have a line.

Where do you live?

What if military leave played into the decision?
Need more info before a recommendation can be made. I'd go NB out the gate and then lateral to your desired domicile first chance... You'll get to fly more on NB (than a WB bunkie) and learn the ropes... I'd recommend getting off probation before going long term mil leave... As another guy said you can always bid WB after 2 years.

IAH and EWR 737 to keep shrinking while LAX, SFO, DEN & ORD to increase in size.

Thanks for the input... Have about a week to make a decision on 76T vs. 737. FWIW, EWR is actually the easiest commute for me, so I plan on staying put for a while

No such thing as an easy commute to EWR. My advise is even if your show is 9 pm take the first flight. Anytime after 12 they can and will slap domestic delays just because. Just a heads up. Been in EWR for over 8 years now between my commuter and here and most days we would hope to finish within 2 hours of scheduled. :D

If you are holding a line use the commuter policy in the contract.....no stress no second guessing :)
