Thanks, dc
The uinon put out a little cliffs notes version of our scheduling section. If I can find an electronic version of it I will send it off to ya.

Bottom line is reserve sucks especially in the summer. Being a junior line holder isn't a huge leap in QOL, but it helps.

-A reserve 9 hour callout
-B reserve 2 hour callout
-12 Days off min
-You're screwed
-76 hr Guarantee
-Movable and Immovable days off.
-Scheduling can roll your movable days off.
-Aggressive pickup windows for A is before B (can't remember details on exact time 11a (A) 12p (B) I think) Self assign trips if you feel inclined...You will still be responsible for your call time though...crappy
-Scheduling assigns open time by 3pm for the next day.
-You're screwed
