Is that the lowest its been in a while? That's pretty good.

Partly a function of horrible reserve "rules". Senior F/Os are bypassing to avoid Capt rsv.

Not sure as a function of %. Could be, but now it looks like we're past 3000 on the list.

We need a CBA and work rules fast

Commuting + RSV will never be a glorious lifestlye.

I'm currently filling out the app, what are the resv rules like? How many days off on resv?

What's a realistic timeframe to hold MCO or FLL?
thx.

Min off 12. Usually you'll end up with a few more 12-14 is pretty normal.

Scheduling assigns callout times and Long Call/Short call the day before your RSV day. An "Effort" is made to assign long call on first days.

Of course each person's experience varies but my time on RSV was pretty benign. It wasn't the get called and then work 10 different variations of your original trip that I was used to.

FLL is mid-sized and growing. Not very long to hold, most get it within a year. MCO is much smaller and more senior. I think right now it takes 2-2.5 years to get there.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.
