If you thinking I'm lying because your schedules are so bad then w/e. I've said it a thousand times and I'll say it again: The people that work weekends are people that want to and reserves. MOST reserve lines are over the weekends. Relief line holders get mostly weekend trips. If you decide to be nasty toward us instead of accepting the good situation we have with scheduling and trying to adopt it on your own, then theres nothing I can do about it. The fact is, we get our schedules about 10 days into the previous month, we have the opportunity to improve it to our liking, and we have tons of open time to use throughout the month to trade into should our schedules at home change. Our reserve rules are leaps and bounds better than yours, our contract is way better, and guess what. The latest numbers show our crews cost less per hour and our schedules are way more efficient. Thats right, you read that right. The mighty ExpressJet that you guys have been programed to think is too expensive and causing the company to lose money is actually cheaper than the almighty ASA. Get over it and start trying to work toward a better situation for yourselves. This crap from you guys is really starting to get annoying.
