You'll see...although admittedly, living in base takes a lot of the butthurt away.

LCR while living in base is a basically a vacation

When you're on the overstaffed 175, sure. In Crj land, reserve is the worst.

A vacation where someone calls you at midnight every night and then you have to go to Bozeman and ferry back empty.

Hey, I'll take a midnight call for a noon show over a "hey, we're giving you the worst standup in the system tonight."

That call was a 3am call [emoji14]

You know unless the stand-up is for the next night (34 hours away vs 10) you can refuse right?

Getting "released into rest" for a stand-up is 100% voluntary. But they don't advertise that when they call you, obviously

It's only happened once, but it was like 2 days notice.

Ah yeah. That does suck

SM, the most junior award, is a 5/13 hire. We went from 4 years to 3 years in three months, but it's still not quite to 2.5 yet.

He was a "cadet" first. He was a pilot new hire when I transitioned over to the CRJ a couple years ago.

I actually want to fly a paint line, incidentally.

What the above poster said. If you look at the hire date of the one guy above him in seniority who was awarded captain in the last bid, the hire date is 12/2013.

We sort of stopped hiring for a few months in '13, too. (It was "fun!")

Jumpseat question about what your FOM says. If you are operating on the DCI side obviously OO gets first priority. Is it then fcfs after that or is there a hierarchy like Oo...Mainline dl...other DCI...oal?

Their airplanes they can make the rules. Was just curious since a lot of my commuting is about to be on them.

Your thoughts? Same as the UA side...

How does one verify that a Compass Pilot is flying for Delta on a Delta coded flight?

How does one verify that a GoJets pilot is working UA or DL flight, but still ahead of a SKW pilot on a UA flight? That's why it's time of check in. Fair for the majority. Was the same when I was at Eagle. Riding in back, even on AA metal, was all based on time of check in.
