Welcome! It's great to see so many new faces. Please ask if you guys have any questions; we were all new hires at some point!

You obviously don't have your alerts set right! Again, the days I've been on call, and since I've been online there has always been a trip I could pick up if I wanted, dude! EWR or LGA, there has always been a trip! That's my experience so it's not utter bullcrap...You clearly just don't know how to work the system.

My apologies, Silverlake. I overreacted. I was frustrated at my lack of being able to trip trade some reasonable trips more than 24 hours out. I did not mean to discredit your experience. Please forgive me...and welcome.

Don't confuse work with family. They'll shaft you in a New York minute. Welcome aboard, coworker!

Yup.

And it can get very complicated with multiple furloughs, various LOAs, and MIL all tossed in the mix.

That said, a "pure" furloughee gets tossed into the class drop.


Partly correct.

They get whatever base they can hold, but take equipment from the drop.
Our class drop was 10 EWR 756, 2 EWR 320, and 6 EWR 737.

We had one returnee who took 1 of the 737 spots, but immediately went to LAX.

No worries ma man. OMG TRUST me I get it...I was complaining about that very thing the past few days to my buddy. I'm trying to move a trip, and that just doesn't exist here at United BD/WD trades. I know it frustrating because at the regional I was at you could view the coverage and BD/WD trade no problem. Lol, so it's taking some getting use to...

If you live locally that's awesome. I wish I could do that. I'm not senior enough to get SRM. 200+ FOs ahead of me in BES.

I was doing it at 70-75%. Guys like you are why guys like me kept getting called.

You can, as a lineholder, and I did. After 1300 local base time day prior. When EWR based I used to have open pairing alerts set and picked up a bunch of DEN trips. Now based in DEN.

Hi everyone -

I'm interviewing shortly after you guys show for indoc. I am not on the forum enough to know who everyone is. I am wondering: do I know any of y'all? Would love to meet up. Please PM!
