Here is a tip for those new hires coming (Eventually). Get on a junior jet and stay there at least the first year preferably in base. I held a line my entire first year because I chose to stay on the 9. Now I am one of the most senior bidding RSV on the same airframe and I rarely work. Just flew my first flight in 2 months.
Senior RSV is nice with this new bucket system. Looking at about 110 hours flow since Jan 1st on an airframe that is known for flying frequently.

Back to watching tv and packing for the lake where I like to sit and wait for the calls...that never come

Oh didn't our off days go up to 13-14 on RSV with the TA? Might have misread that.

Cni, that's bang on! Thanks!

How senior is MSP base on any equipment? I'm from Winnipeg, Canada, which is a short drive north of there. Wouldn't mind being based there. I see NYC is fairly junior...how about LAX?

That part starts 1 Oct, 2012, during low ALV bid periods and in overstaffed categories.

And I'm guessing you swap jets every freakin' time you go thru a hub. Then on the last flight your gate is occupied....or so I've heard Welcome to Mecca

This morning I was sure we'd keep the airplane. Great flight attendants traveling with us on both legs. 46 minute turn. It's a keeper.

Nope.

All of you switch south side of B to north side of A. Have fun and run.

I do think someone mentioned 35 minute turns with aircraft swaps on the 9 in ATL. I think that was The Newk.

Anyways, chance that an ATL 717 trip would involve 5 day 18 leggers?

Been there done that. I'll say "Hey Boss, not safe to fly on a empty stomach, I'm gonna grab something. And hey girls, ya'll get someting if you're hungry." Btw, not safe to rush either. And I walk slow just to be safe
