The ERJ side has better reserve rules but still needs improvement. I was on a RAH jumpseat the other day and they were explaining how they don't have junior manning OR ready reserve/ARC/airport reserve. Yup you read that right. That's something we should get.
Reserve should only be 12 hours not 15. Maximum 4 day blocks. Long call should never be allowed to be converted to short call.
We (XJT) don't have junior manning either. When scheduling calls you on a day off you tell them in your politest voice to kindly go **** themselves. And voila... no junior manning! Only weak suckers go to work against their will.
