Anyone who flys a reserve trip when full is not only violating the contract but taking greenslip and whiteslip pay(most of the time) away from other pilots in the category. If you fly when full buy accident report it to scheduling supervisor and another pilot should get paid for being bypassed for gs or ws.
By raising the amount of hours reserves can fly in a month compared to the past, and changing to the 14 hour window for covering trips, ALPA has taken thousands and thousands of dollars from other pilots. Especially the 14 hour window to cover trips now. This has crushed greenslips and whiteslips. At least allowing reserves to fly more hours gives them more pay. The 14 hour window now results in constant reroutes.
