This is due to low FO staffing, and because of this, the grid starts with a net reserves of only 0 or 1 for many of the days. There are too many open duty periods compared to the number of available pilots.

By the time the first 5 pilots start adjusting their schedule (dropping most trips so they can become available for premium trips) the grid is almost completely red.

I'm in the most senior base in the company, but there are currently 21 days of October that are green on the FO side. This is after IoT and Direct Open Time has been open for what, 10 days now?

Or is that what you meant by "...the grid is almost completely red"?

Also, $1700/mo and no health insurance until you complete OE. Welcome aboard.

That's a 50% pay cut for me. No thanks. I really thought it was an error on airline apps.

6 green. This is actually better than September because there is at least 3 days in a row green.

Not going to lie, I honestly forgot about ACY. It's probably terrible there. Having said that, the only reason it exists is because of the old school nostalgia of the airline.

Either way, I'm confused why you would make such strong statements about NK, with regards to dropping trips, when you're in such a base; which you know has no future. So why say such a thing? People literally come to this forum to seek advice, and you offer up a coffin corner. How does that help anyone? What's the point?

From the looks of your post history, it looks like you have not so successfully tried to get hired on at Jetblue over the years. So who knows, maybe Spirit is for you?
