Sitting on the couch is sitting on the couch (Oprah!) - some people like sitting at home making minimum guarantee - others would rather be working their tails off accumulating flying hours towards the upgrade. to each his own.
This whole upgrade / flow / no rsv thing is a bit of a pyramid scheme. Everything remains rosy while there is growth. Lets not forget we have been in a up business cycle since 2009 - what happens with recession - music stops, upgrades stop, flow stops, misery rules all. This is not a new movie - its a rerun.

Or, sit around and overthink, doubt what's happening in front of your eyes, miss out.

What does little reserve mean? 2 weeks, or 2 months? I can't figure out how any airline can run without an active reserve list of pilots for when plan A fails.. Or is it senior guys bidding reserve because they would rather watch Oprah from their couch?
Not trolling - just can't figure this out (my ignorance)

It works by cancelling more flights than you'd like due to crew availability and ****ing off American as a result hahah

Not trying to be a teacher's pet - just playing the long game - whats good for the airline is good for the pilot.

That does not sound like a winning strategy. If I were a NH at PDT, I would rather sit reserve than have the airline (note signature at bottom of paycheck) be forced to cancel flights!

Anybody else confused by the perm bid? How low did the list go for 145 Captain? Did all the slots get filled or were there vacancies? I can't figure out how to read it. Thanks for the translation!!

13 unfilled captain slots on the 145 from what I gather. Any new hires coming in with 1000 121 will upgrade instantly. Short on captains.
