Exactly.

Life's good with managed expectations.

Having never bid above 50% in my whole career, I took (and take) exceedingly simplistic approaches to bidding - and was usually in the range of moderately displeased to exstatic depending on the solution.

Damn right I'll bid every time, though. Even at 100%.

Same here at this point. Bid prefer: 4 day trips.

Let er rip!

Generally I really can't complain. Sometimes I'm downright pleased.

Just got offered the job at SkyWest. I live in Lincoln Park (Chicago). I can get Jan 2 CRJ class or Jan 19 for the 175. I really like the 175, but to be able to be based at home at ORD, is the crj really the right pick? I wouldn't want to commute to reserve on the west coast. Thanks. Can't wait to join y'all.

Pick the CRJ. Just had a 175 FO in the jump that lives in Wisconsin and is two leg commuting to reserve in SFO and can't get ORD yet. You'll get ORD out of training. If not you'll get it before you finish IOE.

No discussion necessary. For the Midwest, it's CRJ.

I usually did Sunday AM starts and the earliest BART arrival was mid morning ish (I used to be able to tell you exactly).

Yes, I did bid around not driving to work.

It's good for my paycheck and advancement, and it's not like I didn't know what I was signing up for.

833:48 in the last 365....

Block/365? Impressive. You work too hard. (I know it's probably not voluntary.)

Funny, the higher my block is, the more I'm sick; one month where I'd done 4-2-4-2-4-2 ad infinitum I wound up sick for a week and a half.

Block/365.

At the end of the month I'll be within a 4 day of 1000 hours in the CRJ.

I don't even want to talk about sick leave right now.

If I could figure out a way to work just a little bit less that would be great, so far no luck. I'm pretty close to what I would consider to be the sweet spot.

That's interesting.. meanwhile on reserve I'm hardly blocking 30 a month. And I have friends who work less. Where are you based?
