Defend it as you see fit.
As far as the hot reserve...they can. I recorded the call and it was sent to the union--it is a grey area. In the "Pick your battles" of life I am not going to "take a stand", refuse it and get fired from a company that I am leaving anyway.
I recognize who I am and what PSA is.
I have no desire to deceive myself.
Good luck to everyone.
I am most certainly not defending PSA. Their shenanigans have become borderline criminal, and I would never recommend a pilot come here, whereas a year or 2 ago I would have.
My point is the stuff that everyone is on here all up in arms about......We did it. We did it for longer and in worse conditions, but back then there was no "better option." Unfortunately what we did in the past is ABSOLUTELY relevant. It is hardwired human behavior to be shaped by what we did in the past and form opinions as such. So yes it is a little frustrating to see someone posting about how terrible their life is that they have to sit reserve for 4 whole months. If it's that bad then leave, you have next to nothing invested here and there are some pretty enticing options out there.
As far as the hot reserve thing that is disappointing to hear. It goes against past practice and I would have hoped the CPs would agree. Add another thing to the list...
