What's fun is the 08:00 to 08:15 window when a reserve putz is trying to YS the trip he wants, but not get the trip he does not want. It's a fun game involving submitting your "if needed to fly" rotation then dropping the YS bomb at exactly the right moment, not knowing when the scheduling clerk will hit the button for the computer to cover the trip.



Scheduling fixes needed in our next contract:
1> Reserve should accumulate pay per day at a minimum of 3.9 hours per day.
2> Short call should be open for bid and should pay min day guarantee 5.25
3> Unlimited trip pick up in seniority order, similar to a blank open line. Let pilots schedule themselves (greed is efficient).
