All the 717 trips in September have swapped to the 319. I wonder what the holdup is...

83XX 93 3
88XX 90 4
95XX 44 4
98XX 88 5

99XX 59 5
102XX 64 4
104XX 89 2
110XX 71 3
111XX 73 2

I have done this about 4 times in off months and in the summer. Every time it has shown a pretty good distribution of flying.

Like I said before - if the system is unduly burdensome on the junior Pilots - lets fix it. But with numbers like this, I think it will be hard to justify changing the system.

I am sure that guys out there are getting hosed on an individual basis - but I don't think its systematic. I would like to see some other guys post their categories if it shows the junior guys getting hosed - I have not seen it.

Scoop
holy cow that's all you guys are flying over there? its hard to do my category as we are always out of pilots. most seem to be well into bucket 3 going to 4... I think I'm 4.

anyways if you looked at tomorrow 6 guys are listed for say friday...

seniority / raw / hrs
116x 154r 59h
114x 151r 33h
115x 165r 76h
109x 112r 27h
115x 122r 58h
83x 84r 6h
116x 154r 36h
114x 158r 0h
112x 144r 70h
110x 160r 56h
110x 157r 75h
94x 142r 44h

obviously when you have 0 hrs and 158 raw you've been excused for whatever reason. or very sick.

But wait! I thought with the concessions in C2012 all the reserve guys were gonna fly 99 hours in the summer months!

Even throwing out the 0 hour guy, these 11 range from 6 to 76, with an average of 49. Another myth busted...

Not all is so even, scoop. My raw is 180 and had I not gotten a GS I would have been first up for SC in the morning.

given the propensity for pilots to not shave on their days off... I present to you the 717 pilots who had a summer off...

typically we have 40 guys or so on res. that above is the guys who are available. The others are flying or may have already timed out and dont register on that list.

I guess the way to look at it is the availability list is awfully small considering the size of the catregory and typical res numbers.

btw in july I went through alv and did a trip that in previous times we wouldve needed another pilot to do. how is that something to celebrate?

and in aug I'm set to go through alv again depending on sc because I still owe one. although I got the memo summer is over so maybe ill escape.
No one is celebrating, and frankly, allowing reserves to fly to ALV+15 was perhaps, imo, the biggest concession we gave in C2012. Having said that, all the fear mongerers who said reserves are gonna fly 99 hours every month have been proven wrong..... again.

True, I only did 94 hours res in aug. I feel the concession.

It's been about 92 hours per month for me in a domestic category.
