I've been at Envoy 3.5 years and commute from west of the Rockies. I've been NYC, DFW, and ORD based. I've never come in a day early, or had to stay a day late, with the exception of the 6 weeks after IOE when I took red eyes to get to NYC before being awarded DFW.

I've posted this before, but here goes again. I don't agree with the pre assigned RAP's for reserves. I hope we win the arbitration and it gets changed. But, after a couple months building seniority, you can proffer out of the early starts. You won't have to come in a day early if you proffer for a late trip or late airport standby. Same goes for line holders. I don't bid around commutability because the trip trade window allows me to trade every sequence into a commutable one.

I know guys don't like putting this out there because they think it hurts our leverage with the company. The company doesn't care. They need new hires and complaining about the commutability of the schedules hasn't made them change anything.

I think the company should improve the schedules because they want to make this a good place to work. Based on the union scheduling committee email last month, we should expect improvements. But let's not pretend like we're all coming in a day early and leaving a day late every week. It just doesn't happen very much.
