Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the shift in days on Global Reserve voluntary or some sort order needs to be followed? If converted to SC, it’s only 6 days a month, right? Doesn’t seem terrible if I can sit at home for the rest of my LCR days. Am I missing something?

If you go WB, you’re going to seat lock yourself for two years. Current junior man in MCO is ~200 numbers from the bottom of the seniority list, so it’s currently a few months to hold MCO. Obviously things can change, but if you’re looking to get to MCO ASAP try to get the 737 in indoc.

imagine
Day1 :0800-2200 SC (can’t commute home)
Day 2 :commute home for LSR just to get called for Sc the next day and have to commute back same day
Day 3 : 0800-2000 SC

Don’t want to get ahead of myself, but want to get a realistic idea of what the next 3-5 years might look like (in theory).

well, hopefully they’d give you the short call later in the day so you can go in the morning of day 3 in your example. The long call callout goes to 18 hours in August (14 hours if assignment is between 12-1359).
I dunno. Wishful thinking.
