The excessive short calls built at crew desk discretion is the biggest complaint I hear about the reserve system. Basically there is no long call part of the long call/short call system. It's like the old days when all it was, was short call That needs to get fixed.
True on the 4 hrs. Forgot that was to push.
I understand the SC issue for commuters. I agree we need to get it addressed or at minimum restrictions for building them in black and white, but for locals the SC system is a HUGE benefit. I know many making bank and never flying by doing as many SCs as they can get. So are we going to rob from Peter to pay Paul? Don't you think the locals will be upset if it's changed too much and say you're taking money out of their pockets to appease the people that chose not to take the companies offer of a paid move to live in base? Just bringing up the other side. I don't have the answer.
