SkyWest has a bucket system. Seniority kind of goes out the window because if there is a 2 day trip and the only guy in the 2 day bucket is a lifer he will do the trip even if there are 10 junior guys in the 3 day bucket.

Well, I'm proabably in the top third of the brasilia captains and am based in Santa Barbara. I bid reserve thinking I could hid out and have a light month. Well, I'm on day 2 of 5 and hello from Sun Valley, Idaho.

Sounds similar. Reserves are getting abused right now so I can not imagine many senior are bidding it unless it is for days off. There is a 12 hour call out that is nice and we have an aggressive line improvement for reserves where they can pick up trips 12-24 hours prior. Min day off 11or12 depending on how many days in the month. We have floating reserve lines which give you 14 days off. Our reserves got a lot of improvements in our last LOA. I would still rather be a line holder.

Senior reserve at XJT is getting used and abused just like the junior reserve.

At XJT, any open time being picked up for the rest of June, at all bases in either seat, is being paid at time and a half. No way they'd pull that if our reserves were sitting at home not being used.
