What if we could create some kind of satellite base with BOS trips created from NYC block hours, then bid those hours from the NYC bid pack. Maybe we could even build a DH at the front and back of the month to get pilots in position from NYC. If it works, we could try the same for MCO from ATL time. It seems like a flexible solution for creating trips without the financial risk of opening/closing a base. Seems like a win/win. Maybe on a trial basis?

In general you'd incur a 2yr seat lock every time you require the full training course, with lots of exceptions etc.

Reserve requirements are a major variable to solve for. The other cost factor is the expense of relocation if a category closes. Our contractual relocation benefits are expensive.

left seat is a 12month seat lock for the short course. I know it’s unusual to go back to the right seat, but if there isn’t any movement, it’s in my cross check. I assume it’s another 12 month seat lock, but any/what training?

When a ‘good deal’ pops up, it seems just like my military days. “I didn’t get a good deal so you can’t have one either…”
