The other is I'm doing it for a change of pace and to knock the dirt of the flying skills a little. While I do fly a fair amount on the 777 (I rarely play the landing class game), I've seen how some of the guys that camp out in the back seat for a decade do when it's finally time to go back to work.

Anyone know where it's posted (or how it's communicated) when an awarded lateral move takes place? The initial vacancy bid announcement said, "...Lateral activations may occur as early as the June bid month." Trying to figure out how to bid for June... thanks!

email Manpower Planning and they will likely give you an idea of what it looks like. It is entirely dependent on what the staffing is like where you are going versus what it is like where you are! If it is good for them to activate you quickly, then hold on to your hat!!

What's lovely is that we have the opportunity to choose.
In the plus column for the NBCA positions is avoiding the grouchy, insecure authority old men that you sometime get stuck with on the bigger airplanes once in a blue moon.
It thankfully didn't happen too often but when it did?
Oy vey.

Well said
Couldn't agree more. You can not put a value on a SCAB free life, and I will go one contentious point further . . . a life free from 570's . . . the single biggest bunch of ungrateful, blowhards currently flying airplanes.
