23.S.5.d
The TA will let Scheduling put you on short call the first day after x-days, as long as they do it before you start those x-days
What do yall think?
This is a HUGE concession. Its not about stopping rolling thunder so much as it is to get everyone in base on the day before they start reserve like before. Nothing on day one before 10am was one of the best QOL improvements to reserves in a long time. Heck, it was noon in all situations until we sold back the 2 hours during the 117 LOA prior to 3pm the day prior.
This will drive both less staffing and less premium pay as now they will be able to cover much more early morning flying with fewer reserves because all reserves on day one will now be on the hook for early SC instead of nothing before 10AM/Noon.
This is an unbelievable give back of flat out treasonous proportions. Absolutely disgusting that we would ever have even entertained this fantasy "shopping cart" idiocy.
Yet another reason to vote heck no.
