As a guy on reserve I am amazed at what my July will look like now. Resv guarantee is already changed from 70 to 80 since ALV is 82 for July in my catagory. I worked pretty hard in Jun and logged only 56 hrs, I'll be amazed if they can wring 80 hrs out of me. That coupled with a 4% raise is pretty big.
I would like to see a comparison of July-July 2012-2013 monthly ALV vs July-July 2011-2012 next Year to see if we really did work harder and if the ALV goes down to not pay resvs as much or if resv is worked hard and the ALV stays high so as to not needing as many pilots.
Also where can I find which bases and jets have reserves over 20% and get the extra day off if ALV drops below 75:00?
