I'm asking are you guys scheduled for 19 on in a row? I was told the UAL reserve sched is printed. 6 on, 2 or 3 off, 6 on 2-4 off, and so on.
My schedule just shows 19 on in a row. Then 2 or 3 off, for December my reserve choices (last choice) are Dec 1-10 on, 4 days off, 8 on, 4 off
I hate it.
At DAL the PBS parameters for min/max days on varies by fleet. I too am on the 757/767 & we must have a minimum of 4 days. The max is 99 days!
We are limited to 4 blocks of days off as well.
Generally, even the most junior guys can escape with less then 10 days in a row. Lots of guys do 4 on 3 off so that they are only good for 3 day Europe trips. This way they avoid the 5-7 day Africa trips.
