If you have 3 days left you would be paid 18 more trips. Your new total is 103( 85+18). If you do nothing, your sitting 3 days for 5 trips for a total of 90. It's know as "sitting for free".



SWAPA wrote a reserve guide on this topic. The guide does give legal ways to manage reserve. If you have any questions call your union reps, they are there to help.



The corporation views reserve flipping, to gain an "A" code, with your friends board as a ethics violation. They site the code of conduct manual you have to automatically check on Swalife when you log in. You need to understand who you work for. This isn't the book Nuts.



Trade between, and within, domiciles all you want.



Go to the SWAPA website, under committees, select scheduling. Scroll down to the link labeled "How to not to sit reserve for free".
