Motch,

Those are "reassignable days" not movable days (as in our current contract) There is a huge difference.

Currently in C'02, Crew Scheduling can move any of your "off" days (that haven't been declared "immovable", for any reason they see fit. They do not even have to have a trip for you to fly, they can simply tell you that your reserve day has been moved. As you well know, they do it often.

The TA has "reassignable days." A pilot on reserve can be "reassigned into these days, but it must be for an actual trip and Scheduling must have exhausted all long call reserves. The trip must also begin on a scheduled reserve day (not an off day). Also, with the exception of the one CDO day per month, these reassignments can only be for global trips.

Another gain is that if you volunteer for a short call line, you only have on "reassignable day" for the month. All of the rest are HDO.

Since everyone wants to compare this to DAL. Take a look at "X" days and how their "reassignment" process works. This TA is better (in my opinion).
