Spring break out in CO is mid-March. So the March vacancy with Feb training will be finishing then possibly. The April vacancy will have training starting then.
With 250ish upgrades for those 2 months I’m guessing we’ll be right on the cusp….Still have 400ish with no clue on how many will bypass between us and most Jr CA. I’m betting on the May/June vacancies…

from what I understand is youd bid a line for March and the training will put uoe on there?
correct me if I'm wrong.
But April vacancy is out for me. Too much going on.
So that'll leave June vacancy. If I dont get it by then I'll hold out till after vacation bidding then go in the fall. Heck I might do that anyway to finally have a shot at summer vacation before I won't see that again for 20 yrs.

But when there's so few summer weeks available it's not an easy feet to get one. I'm glad you've been able to. I havent been lucky enough.

If you're thinking about commuting to reserve, make sure to budget for it. They used me for all of 6 days in November.
I'm on day 2 of 6 days of reserve right now, the 9 o'clock close just cleared out and they assigned everything to premium bidders. Good for the pilot group, bad for me.
If I were based where I live it would be a dream come true. But it's costing a little over $100 a night plus food, bus fare, Ubers etc every time I come out here and don't get used. It's frustrating to say the least.
I know I'm being Eeyore, just want people to bid with eyes open. If you're remembering back when you were new and reserves never sat unused, apparently that is no longer the case.

March vacancy is ok. From my discussion with training planning or whatever we call it now, they will pull your vacation for ground school but not for UOE.
from what I understand is youd bid a line for March and the training will put uoe on there?
correct me if I'm wrong.
