Tendencies include but are not limited to:

-Only staff 3-3 res, so when something comes up last minute during the day, schedulers can call you to put you back on "rest" to work late into the day...(essentially extending your day into the wee hours of the night)
-not call in reverse order of seniority in violation of CBA (they call based in the name of reserve conservation)
-will abuse reserves and keep them out of base for the max allowed days
-will call on days off to rope you into a trip outside of your reserve window to circumvent the rule that requires 24 hour notice of res schedule change.
-will blow up your last day of reserve due to lack of rest protection in the name of saving other valuable reserves
-no dropping or swapping of reserve days unless you swap with open time
-abuse will continue until 74.8 hours is achieved
-Dead heading everywhere to plug the hole to double DH back to base

Essentially there are more protections using the FAR's than our CBA. Hope that helps....if anyone else thinks I missed anything please help add to the S5 play book. Oh...and learn who the idiots are. Backrash to name one. Hopefully with all the movement you won't be subjected to reserve as long as I have.
