Does long reserve get called more than short reserve?
Long call usually gets assigned first and they save the short call for last minute changes. But a moot point very soon. After full implementation of contract short call is no longer assigned during the monthly bidding process. Everyone starts the month long call. Then each day they will assign next day trips to some and assign others to a short call period as well. They can convert as many as they feel they need to short call. As Andy said there can be extra pay for too many conversions so they'll rotate who they convert to minimize costs.Does long reserve get called more than short reserve?
T-1 Guy, make sure to get a Guard or Reserve job. Tricare Reserve Select will be a better deal for you in terms of health care costs. Plus being able to do mil drops. Plus the safety net of keeping the military connection in a very unstable business.

Then you can start to network with the SWA guys in your unit to find the LUV. Use the GI Bill to fund the Type, unless you can get hired into the 737. As C130 experienced, you already know how to enjoy killing kittens, an unofficial prereq for SWA.
It will all work out right.
With T-37 + T-38 time, me thinks you are approaching/at retirement. If not able to join ANG/USAFR, start running through your old recall lists and find your future SWA buddies. It is worth it.
Not directly from training. They bid into it from elsewhere.Am I reading it right that newhires got DEN?

Anyone interviewed/hired with no internal recs lately?
Hating's a compliment- take it as such![]()
Deafening response to this, so I guess I know the answer. How bout 3rd person recs? Friend of a friend kinda stuff? Weak, I know. Thanks.
Retiring. Terminal leave in 21 months. Thanks for the advice, Andy.
Consider early retirement. I wish I had! Small loss of pay (2.5%?) but a year more seniority, no loss of other VA/medical benefits. Ask airline pilots you know if a year would have made a huge difference at some point in their career, especially 1997/98 hires compared to 1999/00 hires. I expect many will say it made the difference between furlough or not, upgrade or not, commuting or not. Some amazing stories of "if I had been hired six months earlier."Retiring.
