Schedules can be improved but i would not call them terrible, mostly cause i was not here back in the Eagle days but it works for me. Reserve is less than a year and things have been picking up with hiring which will help a lot of people get better schedules. BTW once you're a line holder trip trading is your friend. I got a great schedule with good credit by trip trading.
Other guys said it.......4 on 2 off 11days off 72 hour line is bottom of the industry. As a general rule Mesa and Gojets have better schedules than us currently. There is no other way of looking at this. In addition, 4 am RAP on day one of RSV is also an industry worst. So here is where we are at: if you're a line holder you get industry worst schedules and if you're RSV you get industry worst rules.
Some things are changing for the better but our schedules and qol is badly lagging behind our peers. You may not think it's all that bad but in reality you are defending the wrong thing. Find some other regional trips and compare them to yours and you will see that we are way behind.
