We all want total restoration, except some want all of it now, when every other legacy hasn't helped at all. But, we can do it for them! (again). It's time to be realistic and go for realistic gains that do add up with shorter contracts.
You're missing the point. Reserves only get up to a maximum of 13 days off a month.
When I flew the 88/90, I would bid 3 high time 4 day trips. 12 productive days work at work and I would easily make guarantee.
But now, as a reserve pilot, I could end up flying the same amount of hours while also sitting 6 short calls on the remaining days !!!
So it just isn't "gosh, I have to fly 75 hours this month?"

Simple, oil is down. And we are cutting capacity which means we should be profitable.

Perhaps the most ignorant comment I've ever seen posted on here.
