More large RJ'S = Even more SNB mainline airplanes
Higher ALV/TLV = More earning potential for me (unless you are lazy and think it ok to sit at home and collect a pay check for not working)
Changing the bid periods is part of managing the swing between peaks and valleys in the yearly schedule. By making each summer bid period 30 days long, there is a little bit less flying in each sum- mer bid period, which serves to further smooth out staffing throughout the year.
The increase in ALV is not designed to increase the amount of flying that a pilot does throughout the year. The average pilot will be assigned no more than 30–60 minutes more flying per month as a
result of this change. Rather, it allows the Company to better manage its staffing levels throughout the peaks and valleys of the yearly network schedule. Also, rather than having junior regular lineholders fall off onto reserve in the winter, there should be a more consistent cutoff between regu- lar and reserve lines throughout the year as a result of this change.
The 7th short call is only if you bid a reserve line that exceeds 74:59 hrs. Otherwise, it still 6. More pay unfortunately means more work n
Currently, a reserve pilot can be as- signed flying not to exceed the ALV. Once his projection is within two hours of the ALV, he is considered “FULL” and is no longer required to remain on call for the rest of the bid period. The TA will increase the amount of flying to which
a reserve pilot can be assigned to ALV + 15:00. However, he will be considered
F ULL when his projection equals exceeds his reserve guarantee.

Consider, for example, a pilot who has two weeks of vacation and is awarded a reserve line. His reserve guarantee will
be set at approximately 38:00 (depending upon the ALV and the number of days in the bid period), and his line will contain approximately nine on-call days. Under the current PWA, this pilot must remain on call until his projection is within two hours of the ALV. Under the TA, he will be F ULL once his projection reaches 38:00.
Also, the contractual staffing formula adjusts to reserve duty periods worked and reserve plus premium hours flown. The formula creates an average of 60 hours and corrects to that number. If reserve and premium hours flown grow, then the staffing formula adjusts up proportionally, driving a requirement for more pilots, not fewer. Regardless of max reserve, the staffing formula will not allow pilots to average above 60 hours over time.

Have you read the TA or are you just going off rumors and emotion?
