I did it last month and a few months ago. Last month, I got literally nothing...it was awful. Luckily his schedule was already commutable. The other month I did it I did pretty good. I just hope I get the one that he needs

Funny story, two months ago he was flying and the FO window was open and his FO didn't have anyone to do it for him (wife was in Maine and had no computer access). I asked DH if he wanted me to do it for his FO (it would have sucked but I would have done it). I heard him ask his FO and he said "my wife will do it for you if you want. she is all checked out in it!" I was laughing! Luckily they were delayed due to change in aircraft so the FO was able to run down to the crew room and do it.

Wow, you do all the bidding! I haven't had to do that yet. DH goes through the lines usually when he gets to work or waits for the commute home. All he really cares about is the commutability at both ends, so I could do it.

I remember the reserve...bid all the lines and then reserve....as much as I love DH having a line, I wish he was on reserve because that would mean he moved on. Sometimes I think he would really like to go to a new airline, but honestly I think he is really scared...plus, with so many other senoir pilots furloughed he is not very marketable with flight time compared to them....but we'll see. He was actually filling out his log book the past 2 weeks. I think he is up to Feb. of 04! I don't want to ask him if this means he is looking to apply at some majors, it might scare him off
