Pretty sure VDA pays 190%, though. Hence the reason guys sign up for it left and right around here in MCO. Just know what's out there if you're on RSV. I know some guys that have gotten tagged with 4 day trips and only got the extra $$$ for one leg on day one because they started a 4-5 day block of reserve the next day....


Moving PRL days are pretty useless since you can only move them to a day you already have OFF. So, if you're looking to swap a reserve day or something INTO a day you have been assigned PRL, then I could see doing that. I've done that ONCE when they randomly assigned me a PRL day, I needed a different day off, so I moved the PRL day to another day I had off and swapped the RSV day I had onto where the PRL was. Everything else was either going to give me 6 days RSV stretches with one day off (they won't let us do that anymore for lazy reasons) or wasn't going to work for some other reason. That's the only time I could even think of moving a PRL day.

I've been getting a rash of "How quickly can you get to the airport?" calls. I'm okay with helping out once in a while, but it's getting to the point they're expecting us to race to the airport to save the operation. Assuming I'm not doing anything, it's gonna take me a minimum of 90 minutes to get from my house to the parking lot. I planned where I lived based on a 2 hour call out, and I don't sit around in uniform staring at my phone. Also, they DHs on the back of trips are getting insane. Saw one in open time last week that was a 19:00 show time, MCO-SLC, DH SLC-MCO and back at 6 something AM. Thought I was going to get it and they'd just delay the flight since I didn't go on call until 1900. They gave it to the 1300 reserve. Damn. Yeah, it's legal because it's a tail end DH, but....damn. I think I'd be landing in SLC and asking for a hotel room.....
