B6 guy here
I don’t see you folks on my jumpseat matrix, are you under another name or are you not yet participating in reciprocal jumpseat agreements. I have a long term training event coming up and living in SE Connecticut it would be very convenient to hop a ride.
Thanks.

Thats good news! I live about 20 min from RDU and am in the Jan 16 class - hired as FO. Any word on when they will run these base bids again? Also, is it possible to do a "base swap" outside of a bid period meaning if you find someone who wants to swap then you can just make it happen?

I'm trying to get an expectation on what reserve life is like here...
Are you typically used in your own base or will the company DH you around to cover flying in other bases? I'm curious how that works since it is a day trip operation.
Are reserves flying much?
Can you pick up open time?
Can you pick up trips out of other bases?
Anything else to be aware of?
Thanks!

The answer is hard to say but they can put you in another base to cover reserve if you’re in an over staffed base like MCO, but usually guys that are commuters volunteer for that. Seems like most open time flying is covered by off day pilots that are in that base.

Not really overall perfect for the person that lives in base and has a family or want to be home and touch an airplane 3 times a month. If you’re a green captain or in High mins they will use you first.
Can you pick up open time?
Yes
Can you pick up trips out of other bases?
Yes on off days
Anything else to be aware of?
This airline is very good for the live in base time that enjoys quality of life, over the commuter. The lines are built as good as they can I guess but, you’ll be much happier living in base.
