Btw reserves are getting an even bigger bump starting July 1st. Using the average (projected) Rsv guarantee of 75.5, reserves will get an ADDITIONAL 7.9% on top of the 4,8,3,3 deal we've been dissecting.
I already fly most on-call days in the summer anyways under our current contract. If they want a little more flexibility for the extra $, that's fine with me.
Oh, and you'll be senior someday
(sorry I couldn't resist, you're probably senior to me)
I've been scheduled to work on each of the 7 days I've been on reserve this month. I doubt I'm senior to you.
Chase the money all you want, I'd rather have my health. Something tells me I'll need the dough to cover my increased medical when Delta is done chewing me up and spitting me out.
