Update I'm junior manned tonight. I got in yesterday morning. So tonight EZE Buenos Aires. this will make 12 days in a row with no days off. I started reserve on June 22. I am on until 6 July. I fullly expect upon return on the 3rd of july that I will have to fly July 4 into my day off on the 7th of July for 16 days in a row.
I am at 72:30 ish for June.
Do you still want the AA reserve system?
Normal AA 777 reserve is 2 or 3 trips a month. Not bad, but, this is what can happen in Summer or holiday months.
Tonight is 3 trips in a row. I'm happy it's Buenos Aires. We are out of reserves.
I'll have a nice dinner and it's winter in EZE versus the heat of MIA. A nice escape.
If assigned a trip on the 4th, I may have to say i'm fatigued if I am. 4 trips in a row is a lot to ask with no reward (a big block of days off) I'm only off for 4 days. The 7-10.
Still want the AA reserve system?
Please USAir tell your people, tell them!
You do not want to be on reserve for 20+ days in a row. You do not want the AA reserve where your 24 in 7 is in a different country or city.
