Pff... No! December I had L1 without the 'bid to fly' and I flew around 15 hrs. This month I did L1 with 'bid to fly' and I've flown about 5 hrs. so far this month. I haven't decided what to bid next month?? You can definitely notice the cutbacks in hours. Not to burst anyones bubble, but if you are CVG based plan on being on reserve for a looooong time.

CD line holders can only pick up CD trips. Also you better hope and pray that they never cancel one or you immediately drop down to guarantee. Its a loop hole in the contract that cost me about 10 hours of pay the month I did CD's.
Also make sure you let hotels know if you want a hotel in base during the 2 or 3 days your doing a set of CD's. Then when you check in see if the hotel will just let you keep the room for all 3 days. Then when you go into ops to check in everynight (and your going to be gone for the night) you can offer your room to someone who may have to sleep in ops for the night. At least they may be able to take a shower then!!
