I'm commuting on RSV and the current AA RSV system is terrible. It's worse than Eagle's. Due to tight staffing, scheduling is stingy about giving long calls unless they think you'll exceed 7 short call RAP's when they have to pay you extra.

With exceptions of minimum monthy days off (11/12 depending on month) and not violating your 3/4 golden days, virtually every other guideline allows scheduling discretion to do as they please.

Virtually every RSV day will either be a trip or a short call RAP in domicile (dumpy crash pad in MIA or NYC if you don't plan to move within close driving range of either two) and sick time usage among RSV pilots us high due to burnout.

It's pretty ugly right now.
