The games of late are really starting to wear.
Example of games?
Not doubting you, just wondering. I was long call reserve in PHL Feb to Apr and averaged 10 days of actual work a month (to be fair, I did have vacation in March). I held a crappy secondary in CLT in June and July, and bid back to long call because I figured I'd rather fly 4 or 5 red eyes on reserve than 6 or 7 as a line holder for basically the same pay.
Just wondering what to expect...
By the way, I agree that ACARs, checking for assignments at block in and 1500, & flying into our day off are going to be game changers for reserve QOL for LUS'rs
