At least that's how I understand it
It was that way but not anymore. If there is a four day reserve behind 6 five day reserves, the four day guy gets the trip. There used to be one day, two day, three day, and multi day reserve silo's. Now there are one day, two day, three day, four day, five day, and six day reserves. The Company wanted this in order to more efficiently use the reserves. The Company didn't want to burn a five day reserve with a four day trip when they had a four day reserve available lower on the list.
It's another of the many concessions in the 2012 CBA that was paid for by the reserves. I could list at least eight other concessions paid for by the reserves but then I would be repeating myself.
To the Gent that says he thought reserve sucked "but not anymore" because he "gets more time at home," just wait until this summer. You'll be trading in your low pay and time at home for low pay and being abused by the crew desk away from home.
