Yes, that still stands but with some provisions:

1. Reserve pilots are entitled to require Scheduling to modify their reserve schedule to reflect 2 days off in a 7-day period (read: 5 on, 2 off) with exactly 11 days off per month. So a 30-day-month's schedule would look like this: 5 on, 2 off, 5 on, 2 off, 5 on, 2 off, 4 on, 5 off (or 6 off if 31-day-month).

2. Reserve pilots (who don't opt for the option above) are guaranteed 1 day off in base in a 7-day period. So no 18 days of reserve out-of-base.

3. Days off are immovable. "The LOA’s “strike-through” of the contractual provisions which previously required that a modified reserve line contain at least eleven (11) days off was performed solely in recognition of the fact that reserve lines will, upon ratification of the LOA, always contain more than eleven (11) days off, with the exception of reserve lines modified under the provisions of paragraph 1.a.i. above (in which case such reserve pilot may receive exactly eleven (11) days off), unless the pilot consents to additional duty on days off, or as described in the LOA."

4. Training cannot be scheduled on days off without the pilot's consent.

BF (our Chief Negotiator) was correct in saying that there's some good money to be made by reserve pilots.
