So why should a pilot that is senior enough to hold a line EVER be forced into reserve? Let alone under the sh1tty reserve rules the CRJ contract has.
Under ERJ line bid, the ONLY way a line holder gets reserve is if they voluntarily bid it.
Doesn't really sound like the CRJ PBS is 100% seniority based, contrary to what some say.
And sorry, but what you're saying seems slightly contrary to what the other poster is saying with the examples he gave and the various scenarios.
