But every trip in open time is gobbled up without hesitation. The company doesn’t GAS about goodwill. They care when planes stop moving.

Don’t take it personal Fangs it’s slightly trolly but not that bad.

Most of our pilots are ATL based, so the probability is most of the a$&h0£€$ are also ATL based.

The ratio base to base is probably pretty equal.

The midwest bases and ATL it wasn't as common..maybe it is now though.

Which is basically my point.

I have zero idea why anyone would bid the 320/73/220 out of NYC over the ER.

Because I can fly 9 x 1 day turns for 72hrs and sleep in my own bed every night.

Well, okay... But you have to be top 10 in category to do that, at least on the initial bid. So, it’s pretty rare.

Yes, but in NYC 320/220/737, it doesn't really take that long for an FO to get into the top 10%. Sure, a couple years depending on who's ahead of them, but that's nothing in the grand scheme of things, if someone really lives within daytrip distance of those airports.

Flying 7-8 hour turns during bankers hours is a completely different life than someone who does 5-day trips.
