Lots of junior guys here understandably don't have enough knowledge of the contract to understand the issues on reserve. There are three issues that all interact to determine reserve staffing, they are:

1. When a reserve is full
2. Max reserve
3. Staffing formula


Alpha,

You bring up some very good points here is what I posted last week:



I have flown reserve on and off for the last 12 years and never even got close to 70 hours in any category I flew in the following bases DFW, LAX, SLC, MCO, unpaid vacation , ATL ,SLC, LAX, but mostly LAX. The ATL narrow-body guys probably have a different experience.

This is why we need to see some solid analysis and get the NC's take on things.

I do however take exception with your comment about "...junior guys..."
above. Do you actually think most senior guys know these reserve rules any better?

How about ".... besides the contractual experts, most Delta Pilots....."
