I have the FEB bid. The number 1 line is 19 days off with 89 hrs block. With no over night trips. (pretty nice!!!!) The only thing I thought was strange is the CA and FO lines match. If you bid 101 or what ever, it looks like you fly with the same CA and FO all month! Am I reading this right?
Yup you are. Until PBS is running crew planning makes the lines. So you will fly with the same CA the entire month.
Line 1 is ok if you dont mind doing msp-yvr turn 7:30 flight time per day. Did it once and my rear was blue.
I LOVE line 137. 12 days off all CDO to LSE and OMA total flight time for the month 26 hours
those 31 hour layover in BOS are ok but dont want to do it more than once a month. I HATE 5 day trips

My start date got changed from the 18th to the 11th. Some body could not make it on the 11th so they called me. I have never worked with lines like that. That could be good or really bad!!! Do the FA lines run like that too? I have not looked at them yet.

If you mean are they the same as our lines....pretty much. There are a few times were there might be a slight change for somereason but for the most part it is the same crew all month. The FA's can pick up a lot more time than we can though. I know several who regularly credit in the 120 range.

For those that keep asking, "How many pilots are there?"
Well, I don't know if it is the answer you are looking for but there were 129 pilots on the bid list for February that have actually made it out of the system. I know, I know, there are quite a few tied up in training as well but this gives an idea of how many line qualified guys we have out there right now.

A buddy of mine who is pilot ~150ish just passed his LOE. Since we've been running classes of 6 every week, I gotta think at or beyond 200 at this point.
The contract requires that the seniority list be updated and posted only once a quarter.

If I had to guess there are 170 or so that have at least done the one day in MSP. And maybe another 10-15 that have class dates but have started nothing.
All of the #'s are just guesses.(we as usual have not seen an updated pilot seniority list in quite some time) So take the info as you wish.

recurrent
You know I didn't think about the large number of us about to go through recurrent. I leave in about a week to go back to YUL for that. I'm sure that could slow things down up there as they try to get those classes of 12 from last summer through.
I will be glad to get it behind me. I have to say it screwed up my line pretty bad. I tried to bid where it wouldn't touch a trip but didn't work. I guess I should be happy I got the extra time off but I really wanted the $$$ instead.
