An update from SAPA.... That is funny!!! Maybe it was on one of the conference calls since that is the only communication we get from SAPA anymore. BH is pretty good about scheduling stuff but his updates always just make me mad. "Yeah sorry that the schedules suck, but we had a bunch of flying added last minute that made us increase deadheads and 3+ hour sits in our domiciles."

If they are below MRS, then all Open Time will be with the extra 15% and 30% within the time windows. So basically, the company can save money with less reserve staff, post open time trips 2 weeks out and reliability goes up because we now staffed that flying for an extra 15% instead of paying time and a half. RP tried to warn everyone on the forums that it wouldn't help reserve staffing. Again, when you have your EB that hasn't had to bid a line using PBS for 6 + years or dealt with reserve shenanigans, you get things like this sold to you as a win.
