I'm still on reserve here in IAD but for the April bid period there are only 7 reserve lines. I finished IOE just before Christmas and it looks like I'll have a line in May or June especially with the opening of the BOS base. I'm third from the bottom on the Saab and the person one spot above (he's from my Sep class) has a standup line this month. You have a lot better chance of holding a line on the Saab then on the Q. Last time I checked, there were 85 people below me on the Q and I would hold a line on it. There are at least 60 people (company wide) on the Q between you and a line.

BOS should be junior for fo's. They need one or two fo's in CRW. IAH and IAD are about the same as far as staffing but they need people as well. There are 21 fo spots needed in the BOS vacancy and only 11 in the northeast. We will see once the vacancy bid is done (it should be complete before bases are assigned for you guys). Keep in mind that everything will change once the SLI is complete.

Good info...if it's still correct. There's just way too much directly conflicting information out there right now. The only thing I think we can all agree on is that we all will have no idea until we show up. Time to start comparing total time...
Change of subject, but has anyone stayed at the Crowne Plaza in MEM? I found a grocery store and a Walgreens within walking distance (about 0.5 and 0.7 miles respectively), but does the hotel shuttle ever make store runs? Three weeks is a long time to subsist on continental breakfast and fast food (especially with no per diem clock running).

also the walgreens and grocery stores around are pretty sketchy at night, just a heads up. Your best bet is taking the shuttle somewhere.

The Crowne Plaza is a good hotel. I didn't have a problem walking around at night. I found Chinese food and a KFC that I walked to at night. I don't know, I'm from Brooklyn so I guess what some consider a rough neighborhood is relative but I only saw one crack head and only one dude asked me for "a dolla". I gave up the "dolla" got his name and my temporary ghetto pass and was on my way.
Something about that town that I like. I don't know if it's the food, the music...something but I had a good time while I was there.
