Trico,
I understand it sucks to work 88 hours on reserve, my sympathies. That being said, I think it would be constructive for ALPA to put out just how many reservists have flown over ALV in the last three years, broken down for domestic and international. I understand the long international trip argument, but I think it is abusive domestically when it is so easy for schedulers to break up trips.
FWIW, I have never seen anybody over 80 hours on the reserve available list in my category. For tomorrow in MSP, these are the hours flown to date: 36/20/3/46/31/32/42/38/42/38/16/67/36/45.
