Here's my beef - I was hired 12/06 on the 73. I'm currently on MLOA and will be until approx Sept/Oct of '08. Based on the last bid, I'm pretty sure by the time I come back I can comfortably hold a line on the 756, and possibly hold a line on the 777. Definetly want to maximize my time/pay as a commuter - hence my asking!! Trying to figure out if I should bid the 756 or 777 when I return to CAL...Of course I know I've got plenty of time to ponder.
Since you're slightly senior to me, you may be able to hold a line when you come back. If you can, almost all the trips are commutable and you won't find a more productive mix of trips. The best is a 30-some hour 3 or 4 day. The worst is around a 15-hour 3 day.
If you're on reserve, maybe you can sit A if you're a commuter but they can still convert you to short call. I don't get used much on reserve, so if you're a commuter probably not a great idea.
Thanks for your service.
