My December schedule turned out better than I anticipated. Bidding 199/201 for ORD I fully imagined working Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Years but to my surprise, I was off all of them! On Christmas Eve I had one reserve shift left (3am-3pm) but I got released early and I was headed home around noon with plenty of time to be home with my family for the holidays.
I know it doesn’t look like a reserve schedule, thats because I got fed trips so I would meet my consolidation deadline (100 hrs in 120 days since my type ride). It sure was nice to get a taste of what a line would be like.
In total, 18 reserve days and I flew 16 of those days. Total block time was 56 hours.
Mat,
Fort Wayne is a very fun overnight! I’ve flown in there many times so far. We get to stay downtown and often crews walk to get dinner and drinks together. Seems like a great place to grow up!

Josh,
Don’t want to jinx is but I should be senior enough to hold a line for February! Bidding opens on Thursday so I should see my seniority in the bid package. If I’m within the targeted line holders zone I have a pretty good shot! It would three months total on reserve so not all that bad! I’ll keep ya guys updated.
