We really should be comparing ourselves to Delta and United but here's one regional example.

SkyWest:
-4:12 min calendar day
-hotel night before CQT
-reserve system is seniority based. Senior pilots can break guarantee or sit home all month and not fly.
-reserves can not be flown into off days. Off means off.
-golden days. Not like what we have, guaranteed off day in future. Unpaid but pre assignment.
-can only be rescheduled inside footprint of original trip. Premium outside footprint.
-if a reserve were somehow unable to get back on the last day they would get extra pay or a future Res day off. None of this noon on day off BS.
-no recovery obligation
-ability to rejoin trip if you call in sick for part of it.
-able to bank vacation. Don't like Jan vacation- hang onto it and use it when you have better seniority.
-no IMAX
-reserves better able to pick up flying on days off
-reserves able to work extra reserve days for extra pay/premium if used


Obviously pay and 401k are worse. Also:
-airport reserve
-defined reserve call out time
-no sick if needed
-no "f time"


The point here is we need to see what others have and improve our contract, not keep our heads in the sand.
