All the above would be great along with-
Fewer Ready Reseve periods per month
Earlier release on last day or
If flying on the last day and when you complete last leg if no new assignments then automatically released
MIN day off increase to 14 or 15 days and I would consider voting for dual qualification. This would make commuting for Reseve much better and seniors guys may even choose reserve over a line.
Long call only lines and/or perhaps a % of all reserve lines have some long call
We need to make sure that senior pilots push to help the junior pilots out who will be sitting reserve for long time as CA and make 9E attractive to new hires as well.
The Union is suppose to bring Unity-not benefit the top % of a company! Let's be different than other airlines. Don't forget us pilots down here sitting Reserve getting 10 HR 4 and 5 day assignments. Funny Concept Uninty
