I heard that they used to J/M you via your V-file, notifying you that you will be the junior man on some future date.

They can only play that game for so long. I find that a good smile is worth it's weight in gold. You have dental insurance, miss a good time to use it.....hint hint

Tell scheduling in advance that you are unavailable on your days off. Works every time.

Would anyone be willing to PM me an example of what a recent jr line and reserve line look like? Trying to see how my qol would be compared to living 2 hrs away from my current regional airline base. I have an interview coming up. Thanks!

Where would you be commuting from? If its an airport that ABX serves, getting to work is pretty easy so far. If we start growing too much and too many people commute, it might become a pain. But it is first come, first serve. (First to list unless, it's a dead header.)

Right now though, your days here start at 0300 and end at 0300. There are more and more trips starting at other times too but the best commutable ones are these. Basically, I take an ABX flight that gets to CVG at around 0130. Eat and chill for a bit, then go to work at my show time. So far I've only needed 2 nights in a hotel in the past 2 months.

Your ABX flight cancels or maintenance delay and you miss your show time? No probl. There's a nice commuter clause and you basically have to make the day up.

It's also nice if you live in a city that we go to, because chances are good that you will be able to overnight in your own bed. I was lucky enough to get a line this month and most of my overnights are at home. It's not always gonna happen like that but your chances are good.

Good luck in the interview.
