Lines out of BOS are a mix, we have some day trips, 2day, 3day, 4day as well. Our junior lineholder finished IOE at the end of June 07. On the most junior reserve 5:15am standby line, you might spend 3-5 nights away from home. Upgrades are predicted to drop, but we will see. AE is having a severe problem attracting pilots due to their long upgrades. They are looking at all options to solve this, and it could pay off to get on the list ASAP. If you have any questions PM me!

I'm number 92 in BOS out of about 105, held a hard line at 4 mos off IOE. Flew 91 hrs, was paid for 99:38. 13 days off, 17 nights at home. All 4 day trips. (Picked up a OT day trip at 150%) Lots of RDU flying, also a bit of JFK flying. You leave BOS on day one, and don't see it again till day 4. Most 4 day trips are blocked from 19 to 22 hours. Overnight a lot in RDU, CMH, YHZ, DCA, & JAX. Hotels are middle of the road quality. Lots of Holiday Inns. Upgrades are dropping, hired today I'll bet a dollar you upgrade at 4 years.
