Okay, how about the crummy pairings available to bid on through our crummy PBS system(that didn't build the crummy pairings)? However you want to "put it" our pairings suck!

That better?

How quickly are newhires going from finishing training to holding a line nowadays, in particular, the junior bases MSP and IAH? Thanks!

Sure, whatever. I'm not assuming this is your case, but it happens so often that I wouldn't be surprised. If you're junior (in seat or domicile) or you bid incorrectly, calling PBS crummy is like wiping before you poop ------> it just doesn't make sense.

Yours is just one opinion out of 3100+. However you want to "put it", I don't think our pairings suck. I'm quite satisfied with commutable 16-19 hour 3-day trips.

Not really junior, and I'm not bidding incorrectly. Our pairings just really suck!
Glad you're satisfied though...

Over half the CRJ class that started today had prior 121 experience (Mesa, CommutAir, Colgan, SkyWest guys back for a second go around), a couple prior military, a couple CFIs.

Eternity. You are not going to hold a line at any base at this point in time son.

If next summer is anything like the last one, everyone will have a line, and we won't have any reserves.
