Somehow I get the feeling that with this 18 day off requirement, we are going to end up with days where we have no reserves scheduled and others where every reserve is scheduled for 4am to 4pm.
We need (now) different reserve availability periods, and if the company is going to insist on building standup lines, we need reserves specifically designated to cover those if need be.
I really don't understand why those things haven't been implemented already. It's not like its rocket science, copy what other airlines do! Hope it's not a bad omen but before buffalo, colgan was still stuck in mom and pop mode too. 1 person in each department. You just can't do that. 1 person can't be responsible for say, all the manuals and the training department for a whole fleet.
