Since being on reserve come spring of 2014 as a reserve at US I've worked 6-10 days a month, after you get off short call you sit at home. My record was 23 days off in a row. Reserve at the majors is vastly different than the commuters...

A friend of mine over there does the same in PHL. Seems like a sweet gig for sure.

Congrats on making it to Airways. I'm just passing on what I've heard from the Jumpseat. To be fair I've never met anyone on RSV there.

I'm all about spreading positivity, but you need to step back and see how it is for people right now. In my case, I'm 2.5 years shy of 767 CA at my shop, see a good future, and I'm really not pushing hard for a Legacy carrier. What I'm being right now is an advocate for those who don't have the ability to say "You know what, I think I'll just stay put." Thankfully, through a lot of dumb luck, I've got that choice. Many people do not, and that needs to be respected. Don't be the guy who luckboxes himself into a mainline job, and is now qualified to tell everyone how it is, and how it should be done.

I understand what you are advocating, but it would seem that your career experience and current career direction are in direct agreement with what @Trip7 is saying.

Oh boy....

This thread just went to full awesome.

@Trip7, since it would appear you're sourcing an academic peer-reviewed study of some sort could you at least abide by traditional graduate level standards by citing the material properly so that those unfamiliar can review it for themselves?

Yes, we get it, you have a Master's Degree :biggrin:.

It was more of a compliment to your success and hard work. Maybe @Trip7 should be posting in a different thread about positivity than in the Eagle TA thread where so much has gone wrong over the last year, but the message is the same: Do the best you can, improve yourself, and be ready for when your opportunity comes.

I'm afraid this will be vastly different post merger. Ask any AA guy.

Somewhat but the lack of coverage I've heard of at AA won't be acceptable for the current management. There use to be a time where a management team here said, "if we don't have a few cancelled flights a month due to staffing we're overstaffed." That's long gone and the MIA Christmas B777 staffing that just occurred would have gotten someone fired with this management.... No way the skeleton RSV system at AA can continue indefinitely.
