Post upgrade, if the upgrades don't stop, I'll gladly bid down and get more time off.
This could lead to more than just a critical pay fix.
I fully agree. food, shelter, and kids come first. I'm a reserve capt, thats why I didn't suggest round 1 guys SAP below 75, since I can't take myself below guarantee I certainly wouldn't expect anyone else to.
I understand this will be a squeeze for a lot of guys, but with the staffing situation already near critical, I wouldn't expect it to be for long.
Also fellow reserves remember:
"If a pilot has credited at least 71 hours for flying assigned by the company in a month, any remaining reserve days can be dropped in order of seniority.The pilot will select this in his monthly bid. If the remaining reserve days are not dropped, the pilot will be placed on long-call reserve on any such remaining days" 3.K.2
